The Only Mankind

No matter what you will do to someone you hate very much No matter what you will do to somebody you really love No matter what you will do to other countries If you are a leader of the most powerful country No matter what you will do to all things If you are the richest man in the world No matter what you will do to your own life If you are a very poor vagabond who lives alone No matter what you do and who you are I think I can believe that you will do the best you can, and in your heart of hearts you realize there is no reason for you to deny that you are not the only man but an inseparable part of mankind living together on the same earth getting older and older That is the only world of mankind. I trust you. But how could we be so naive that we are all trapped in an endless war with each other? How could we have such a selfish and hedonic lifestyle That we do not care about another man life at all? Whereas whoever we are you bet your life, we really know that in all the universe we are the only mankind. How foolish we are! How childish! How embarrassing! How nauseating! Really.

Well in the egocentric material concept there are these follies, man rises above these when there is "no matter" finally.
