The way I see it, the world is ready for a change and this change that I feel the world is ready for, is a change from within. I think the whole world is finding a new way to meet, a new platform on which we can relate, exist and celebrate this life.

Our civilisation has proven from time to time, crisis and war has plagued mankind which has prevented mankind from reaching his finest possibility.

I think for the first time, because of the media and the whole world’s attention brought to it, there is restlessness in the consciousness of mankind to find a new outlet, a new platform on which we can all meet and grow without allowing our differences, our conflict to destroy one another.

That is why I feel the foundation of Friends to Mankind will act as the basic foundation for growth towards this.

The foundation of Friends to Mankind is simply asking every individual to declare for themselves that they are a friend to mankind. In just doing that, we go against any action that is not towards Friends to Mankind, any action that is detrimental, that is destructive, we consolidate together to move towards a singular direction that is to be friends to the whole of living mankind.

Just when we set this consciousness forth and more people join forth in this consciousness, it is going to create the base on which our mind will evolve and find ways, systems, political, economical, social in which all us can flourish and bring forth the best.

As one of the principles of Friends to Mankind is to allow your success to be success for humanity at large, that means, when everybody is pursuing, striving for something better, this better is undertaken with the consideration that the betterment of you is the betterment of mankind at large. And the next principle which says, in considering you consider another, helps promote a loving atmosphere, helps promote inter relations platform. Which will produce a positive and harmonious atmosphere for each and everyone of us. The way I see it, FtoM is the first declaration of humanity to go beyond this war, this senseless killing, this unnecessary poverty, this squabbling amongst brothers, so to say and I feel the time is now.

That the whole world is getting ready and the success of this is going to be when every citizen of this earth owns up and says I am a friend to mankind. Every corporation, every political organisation, everybody who is working is working with this principles embodied. So the words Friends to Mankind may sound a simple word but it carries a tremendous revolutionary possibility for our own consciousness. Our brain, our mind begins to look at life from that perspective. Thus, one’s life, one’s effort is lived in a way that when one is done living he has left this world better than how he has found it.

I recognise and I am very certain you would too, there is so much work ahead of us. So much new invention, new system, new economic method that has to come about to accommodate this. That is going to be the exciting journey of this generation and the generation to come. We have to fulfil that promise. Friends to Mankind seems to be a foundation that is just instigating this, that is just initiating this, that is asking everybody to look from this point of view, which is a must for every individual’s survival, for the survival of our children and the survival of humanity as species at large.
