Advantage 15 – No wars and fewer disasters

Excerpt from the book »Gradido – Natural Economy of Life«

»You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.«
– Jeannette Rankin
American politician, women’s rights and peace activist

Wars and other disasters are forms of unintended transience. They also emerge when people have not planned for the natural law of decay. Thus, they are not inevitable strokes of fate but consequences of a system hostile to life. If we alter the system and follow the cycle of life, such disasters will either not occur or will no longer have such devastating repercussions.

When prosperity in harmony with nature prevails all over the world there will no longer be any reason to go to war. Humans have a natural desire for peace and happiness that they willingly share with their fellow human beings. Only when they feel that their existence is threatened do they let themselves be inveigled in wars against other humans.                                          

Natural disasters have less devastating repercussions in the Natural Economy of Life. Think of Fukushima: an earthquake triggered a tsunami that flooded large parts of the country. If there had been more forest on the coast, the tsunami would not have penetrated so far into the interior of the country. And if energy friendly to nature had been used instead of nuclear energy, the nuclear disaster would not have occurred.

Both the forestation of the coastal region and the development of forms of energy friendly to nature are promoted by the Equalisation and Environment Fund. The latter is financed by the creation of money, which is only possible when decay is planned for. We sometimes have to “think outside the box” to understand the connections.
