This book explores, through the biography of a common citizen, the need for equitable distribution of resources irrespective of the sex, marital status and the birthplace of a citizen of the world. The events lead to the vision of One World - a revolution to make the world available to all citizens from any part of the world via non-violent and intelligent disobedience of visa restrictions for moving across boundaries. The storyline also suggests legalising infidelity by removing all privileges a married person enjoys and a single person doesn't. The government of the world needs to explore ways to take suitable and appropriate care of the next generation, resulting from legalised infidelity or marriage-governed love and fidelity by rewarding the carers of the children; Child Care Levy could be used for funding the care of the future citizens. Here you would get stories of a few common citizens; none of them did any exemplary work to make this world a bit different, none made any great sacrifice for the people they loved, nor did anyone kill and rob others to amass wealth. They all lived by the rules and regulations of the world. In some world, they could not live if not loved by at least a few; life had no meaning without love. In another world, love was not a necessity, life had lots to offer even when you could not win the scarce love. People are made to be loved and things are made to be used; but more often things are loved and people are used. One motivation for writing this novel is telling my stories, which my near relatives were not prepared to listen. They were brainwashed and considered it would be a sin if they listen to my stories. But I no longer believe in God; I believe people around me can do much more for me than God could; we can't do without the help from the people whichever world we might live in. When someone says, 'I shall pray to God for you', often it is meant, 'we have given up on you, hopeless fellow!'. The three worlds, we would talk about here, are really not on different planets. A country in a particular decade could be a world different from the same country in another decade. In the same decade, a country in the developed world could be a world different from another country in the developing world. The same country in the same decade could move into a different world, if we could change rules and regulations - opportunities and threats that govern the country. The concept of the 1st world, 2nd world and the 3rd world is different from the prevalent perception of many in the developed world. Here the first world is the world where a common man John started his journey of life, where rules and rigours restricted his natural development. Next he migrated to his second world where some of the sacred believes, he cherished in his heart were not much relevant; he challenged the rules and rigours imposed on him in the previous world, some rules imposed by his own believes. From here he envisaged his third world, the world which spans over the physical world and beyond, the world where all countries merge into One World that does not restrict any of her citizens by rules that restrict their natural development. The 3rd world described in this novel still remained a vision to John, yet he arrived there mentally and spiritually along with a few more who could share the vision of his One World. John thought his vision 'Our World - One Country' would be realised in 100 to 200 years, something had to be done now to share this vision with many more people of various countries of the current world so that the dream won't take long to be realised. *** *** History was created, when every person on the world started believing that phe [he/she] is a citizen of One World. John became a citizen of the world, so did every other person on this earth.
About the Author: Collateral is an entity of one planet; phe is a person of no known gender. We don't have a pronoun in our grammar to suit Collateral's gender. We can't use 'he' or 'she', so we shall use the pronoun 'phe'; objective case of 'phe' is 'phim'; 'phes' means - of or relating to phim, especially as possessor. Collateral wanted to know about the world, especially about the people living on the world. Phe doesn't understand the languages, the religions, the rules and regulations of this world. It is a daunting task to know about so many people living on this world, so phe probed into the brain of one citizen of the world to extract the memoirs of his life. This citizen of the world is John George; this book is about how John led his life in this world with some more people of this world. Please excuse Collateral for phes lack of knowledge about the languages, the religions, the rules and regulations of this world. Phe doesn't know what we call obscene or illegal. Please listen to phim and check if phe makes any sense to you.
