It is more fun criticizing

It is Sunday and the rains continue to pound us (has been for the last 3 weeks). It reminded me a post I should have made weeks ago.
Three weeks ago I met a Malaysian, an in law of one of our companions who is an Englishman from Malaysia and who said he is a Marxist communist. He wonders why there is such a big fuss over the plight of migrants, and those refugees waiting for aid from EU countries. He said we live in one borderless world
Yes indeed, as the song of Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson We are the World and others say, we are the world. We live in a one world. Trade and travel internet makes this world one community. Yet in a shocking display of parochialism, countries and nations impose borders and limits. EU makes such a reality but EU against the world. ASEAN makes it a borderless region among member nations. And there are many countries, who offer visa less travel albeit for a limited time to their shores as Taiwan and HK.
MDs without border is truly admired for doing humanitarian work everywhere in the world where is health problem and even in countries at war. Truly why not just one world. A world without borders. A world without hatred for other nations... (Of course that is Utopian) MSF Medici san Frontiers
And yet what do we see now:
1. Refugees from Africa and Syria being denied assistance by member countries of EU: France, Europe, Germany
2. Widespread trade war being promoted by USA vs China and Europe thus slowing trade and growth.
We are on verge of another real war after the trade war
But there are many things which we would like to do together: United Nations, fight vs nuclear weapons, fight vs global warming
