“The human kin have harbored such a lot of heart-wrenching tragedies towards their brothers and sisters in the course of the a while. numerous lives of blameless people of each race, faith, nationality and creed were misplaced in the course of those tragedies. the facility of our range has been sapped via misunderstandings, prejudices, and suspicions. The adolescent period of humanity has been very painful and dear. For millions of years, we have now been killing one another and justifying our egocentric behavior within the identify of God, race, faith, nationality... even within the identify of freedom. Our ego has blocked our mild. now we have been conditioned to stay in darkness. This darkness has resulted in an never-ending cycle of non-public, neighborhood, and international disunity.

Now greater than ever, we, the folks of the area, desire a unifying imaginative and prescient to bind us jointly to finish this period of disunity. I envision a United countries proclamation stating September eleventh to be global solidarity Day, to kindle the sunshine of cohesion within the middle of all humanity. it's going to recognize the previous with forgiveness and have a good time a brand new starting with common reputation, organization, and appreciation towards an period of oneness in range. the basis upon which we construct international team spirit has to be in keeping with the primary of oneness-that we're all youngsters of 1 God, expressions of 1 spirit, participants of 1 race and electorate of 1 kingdom, and the roots of our oneness are celebrated within the good looks and gear of our variety.

Let’s now not look ahead to one other tragedy that brings us jointly quickly. Let’s cross a legislations and make September eleventh a solidarity Day. we'd like an afternoon to remind one another approximately our universal humanity, common democratic ideas, wishes, and important difficulties.

We want a day with no violence, department, clash, or partisanship. we'd like an afternoon of common forgiveness and transcendence. we want an afternoon the place we will be able to establish the severe difficulties dealing with the US, and create a plan to cooperatively clear up those serious difficulties. we'd like an afternoon of organization, appreciation, and get together. Then the single day of harmony may perhaps develop into days of team spirit and days of harmony may perhaps develop into 3 days of harmony. With this straightforward act of awakening, we are able to steadily swap the realm in the direction of extra civility, humility, amiability, and cohesion.

The suggestion of a solidarity Day is straightforward but profound. the most project of a team spirit Day is to concentration the state cognizance on harmony, peace, and prosperity inside. No state could be a ethical strength for common peace and prosperity whether it is divided inside. an international solidarity Day on September eleventh every year equally may help to concentration the world’s consciousness at the want for overseas knowing and cooperation towards a extra peaceable the following day. without doubt the hassle will commence in the United States yet ultimately it may well develop to contain different nations around the globe. this is often suggestion whose time has come.”
