The world has become so polarised by small things

The Hebrew people escaped slavery in Egypt through a mesmeric personality we have come to know as (Tut) Moses, a popular princely name in Egypt. After forty years wandering in the desert of Sinai (their law code was devised on the mountain of Sinai, so they might focus on this land until Moses and his successor Joshua led the nation to Canaan (often mistakenly called Palestine-from the Roman term for the large area encompassing what had been Israel and Syria, Syria Palestrina) where they fought for lands to create their national home in calling themselves the “Chosen People” of their God Yahweh.

The Persian people were delivered from their oppressors by their great leader Zoroaster, and their religion made them a unique chosen people (their true descendants are the Yazidi people of the north of Iraq and Iran). Great kings added to their wealth by conquering lands around them, including the lands that the Hebrews claimed as god given. They were ultimately destroyed by one of their vassal states, the Greeks in Europe.

The Roman people believed they were descended from the Trojans and the gods, and created a great empire that dominated the then world in the West (Occidental world). The things that the Romans devised were revolutionary and they were very open to new ideas which in fact ultimately led the Roman Empire transform into the Roman Catholic Christian empire throughout the world.

After the Roman Empire nearly fifteen hundred years later was succeeded by the British empire, the British became a people of vastly enhanced power and ‘chosenness’, which still influences the world despite their being succeeded by the Anglo-American empire of domination which is the great power block today, with people who think they are unique and chosen.

The rest of the world has functioned in the shadows of these great powers in the West, and better societies have developed maybe with some aspects being absorbed into their makeup.

What is true is the human family is greatly flawed and troubled by its own success in this world of raw power and wonder that has a vulnerability that the rhetoric of chosen status is designed to assuage in their collective mindset. Whether a point of evolution is going to transform them will not be seen by them, because they are so introverted and agoraphobia-driven.

Trojans now cost 30% more than they did 2 months ago, and there was never a "Roman Catholic Christian Empire." Christianity happened when early Christians agreed that you don't need to lose a piece of skin to be considered Christian.

Throughout the height of the British Empire (roughly 1815–1945), key competing great powers included France, Russia, Germany (after 1871), the United States, Japan, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. These nations were considered the main global actors, challenging or competing with Britain for influence, territory, and industrial supremacy, especially in Europe and Asia.
