The world of Global Peace is Global Citizenship. A world with no distinction. A world with no barriers. A world with no peoples ‘from abroad’, but a world that all peoples are Global Citizens regardless of wherever they are coming from. A world everyone has freedom to live as human being. The phrase ‘they are from abroad’ is human-made policy. It draws distinction between peoples groups. The phrase ‘they are from abroad’ is a language of discrimination. It causes peoples to be treated according to their colours. It causes peoples to be treated according to their cultures. It causes peoples to be treated according to their nationalities. The phrase ‘they are from abroad’ is unhealthy phrase for Global Peace. The phrase of Global Peace is ‘they are human beings.’ The phrase ‘they are human beings’ causes peoples to be treated with human dignity. The phrase ‘they are human beings’ causes peoples to be treated with respect. The phrase ‘they are human beings’ causes peoples to be treated with sympathy and spirit of humanitarianism. The phrase ‘they are human beings’ is a universal language spoken by all human beings. The phrase ‘they are human beings’ is a healthy phrase for Global Peace, because it recognizes both indigenous and foreigners as Global Citizens of Peoples World. All peoples working together to promote Global Peace, human developments and economic sustainability. I was on underground train with someone. We got to where we needed to go so fast. I said to this person it is faster to move around by underground trains. This person said to me, “Oh yes, but you know, these underground trains were constructed by both citizens and foreigners.” I said amazing job done. Foreigners have helped in shaping transportation across the globe. Foreigners have helped in shaping peoples health across the globe. Foreigner have helped in shaping education across the globe. Foreigners have helped in shaping national economies across the globe. Foreigners have helped in shaping societies politically across the globe. Foreigners are still helping in diverse ways day in and day out across the globe from professional level to cleaners they are given their time, energy, money to shape others lives. Therefore, foreigners must never be labelled as ‘they are from abroad or they are not one of us.’ The phrase ‘they are from abroad’ is unprecedented. The phrase ‘they are human beings’ is profound.
