He grew up in Switzerland and immigrated to Canada. Europe, with its crowded population and all its restrictions and laws, appeared to be a caldron of boiling danger overflowing with an artificial lifestyle that had become too restricted and confined. He realized, however, over several decades in North America that it was catching up fast to the European rat race. The environment in daily life was not always pleasant. For instance, he realized that what in the world was happening in politics and economics was increasingly limiting the freedom of the individual and the nation, and it was progressing toward the enslavement of mankind. That realization greatly disturbed him. He wrote this discourse to encourage an exchange, thoughtful conversation, between people of all walks, creeds and nationalities. The subject is not a simple one. Its complexity is too great to be solved in one discourse. It is impossible for this writer to provide all answers to all questions. It is the writers hope that the reader will be able to open his mind and soul and to be inspired to find his own understanding and draw his own conclusions as to why we are on this planet earth and what are our duties in a functional and moderate society. Simon believes that love should be the major motivator.view less
