“The human relatives have harbored such a lot of heart-wrenching tragedies towards their brothers and sisters through the a long time. numerous lives of blameless people of each race, faith, nationality and creed were misplaced in the course of those tragedies. the facility of our variety has been sapped by means of misunderstandings, prejudices, and suspicions. The adolescent period of humanity has been very painful and expensive. 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. we have now been conditioned to stay in darkness. This darkness has resulted in an never-ending cycle of private, neighborhood, and worldwide 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 international locations proclamation mentioning September eleventh to be international team spirit Day, to kindle the sunshine of solidarity within the middle of all humanity. it is going to recognize the earlier with forgiveness and have a good time a brand new starting with common attractiveness, organization, and appreciation towards an period of oneness in variety. the root upon which we construct global solidarity has to be in keeping with the main of oneness-that we're all youngsters of 1 God, expressions of 1 spirit, individuals of 1 race and voters of 1 nation, and the roots of our oneness are celebrated within the good looks and gear of our variety.

Let’s no longer look ahead to one other tragedy that brings us jointly briefly. Let’s cross a legislations and make September eleventh a team spirit Day. we want an afternoon to remind one another approximately our universal humanity, common democratic rules, wishes, and important difficulties.

We want a day with out violence, department, clash, or partisanship. we want an afternoon of common forgiveness and transcendence. we'd like an afternoon the place we will be able to establish the serious difficulties dealing with the US, and create a plan to cooperatively remedy those severe difficulties. we want an afternoon of organization, appreciation, and occasion. Then the only day of cohesion may well develop into days of harmony and days of solidarity may possibly turn into 3 days of solidarity. With this easy act of awakening, we are able to steadily swap the area in the direction of extra civility, humility, amiability, and cohesion.

The inspiration of a team spirit Day is easy but profound. the most undertaking of a cohesion Day is to concentration the kingdom awareness on team spirit, peace, and prosperity inside. No country could be a ethical strength for common peace and prosperity whether it is divided inside. a global harmony Day on September eleventh every year equally may also help to concentration the world’s cognizance at the want for foreign knowing and cooperation towards a extra peaceable day after today. without doubt the trouble will commence in the United States yet finally it may develop to contain different international locations around the globe. this is often notion whose time has come.”
