Kirk: Did you want to see me Spock?

Spock: Yes, captain, I just want to give you an update on Earth before I fill up our flight logbook.

Kirk: Go on, Spock.

Spock: Earth population, captain, Humanity, has been always divided even confronted according to many variables: geographic facts, resources needs, cultural ways of organization, and spiritual believes. Language sets walls between them. But the main variable that in their history has always made difficult a harmonious living among Humans is war which happens whenever any of the above variables is touched. When war happens, destruction forces get unleashed and what many generations have built get ruined in an amazingly short time. Those that are young in society building get delayed in a meaningful, vital time, and those who are not in war watch helplessly and in horror the bloodshed and the destruction.

Kirk: But is has always happened in their history, has it not?

Spock: Yes, captain, but it is different now. Although confrontations still happen around the main variables being threaten in any particular Earth spot, they do fall into a different perspective when the one variable for them hit the stage as it is happening: Earth itself. Humans can no longer ignore the messenger – the climate – that has been giving them straight signals of an impending world shift that will impact not some but all of them. Wars in that situation are suicidal for both sides.

So, captain, being that the case, the traditional ways of dealing with confrontations have to be replaced by original views than widens Human concepts. Just as war arises when the main variables – geographic borders, resources, ways of thinking or believes – are touched, so does the situation has its reverse: when they are respected peace takes place. The situation now, captain, suggests that only minds able to encompass Humanity in all its complex, varied content can hold solid peace. When Humanity understands that in the context of their planet there are different kinds of people, varied ways of living and thinking, each building for their own, the forces that make them productive and creative will join and Humanity will hold.

I wish, captain, I could show them what we see from above: a blue round sphere drifting alone among billions of galaxies, full of resources, riches, beauty and imagination. Human race will have to use all their intelligence and might to decide whether or not it becomes in their Universe, a star.
