Searching for truth is a very old and demanding activity because the truth is omnipresent. Like gravitation or the magnetic field, truth cannot be seen.
There is also an apparent truth—when people look at the sky, they see the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars moving, and for a long time many believed that the Earth was at the center of the Universe. Copernicus clarified this issue and found the truth.
Then there is the problem of educating everybody about the truth, which is difficult.
One truth, like gravitation or the magnetic field, is this: all people want for millennia—it is also in Kant’s Perpetual Peace—to live in peace, without arms, enjoying freedom and order, good health, good education, a good economy, harmony, and prosperity for all.
The education problem can be resolved using the following Curriculum:

The Curriculum of Peace, Freedom, Harmony, and Prosperity has just five sections:
- Education Structure: Admissions Requirements, Discipline, Pedagogy, and Exit Requirements.

- Economics, Business, Respect for Others, Keep Your Word, Management, Prosperity for All.
This full Curriculum of Peace, Freedom, Harmony, and Prosperity is for universities and other higher education institutions.
For high school, elementary school, and pre-school curriculum appropriate reductions in volume are necessary, but maintaining the teaching of the main ideas—peace, freedom, harmony, and prosperity.
Truth needs correct information, which should be easily found in libraries, museums, and information centers. A World Library will include the Library of Congress and all the other great libraries—they will remain where they are now but will be digitally interconnected and accessible from any place in the world.
An essential element for having truth is to have all Universities cooperate for truth always, peace, freedom, health, and prosperity in the world.
One big issue is, of course, to have global media stringently respecting truth, ethics, correctness, peace, freedom, and friendship.
From a practical point of view, to better know the world government, to help it with the truth problem, and, especially, to improve it, all able people of the world will work as volunteers at least one day a year in the local facility of the Education Department, which will have a special office for managing this volunteer work.
It is important to understand the war mentality, which includes the idea of having arms over arms over arms so others will be afraid of these arms, and the other side says exactly the same incorrect statements and the wars appear from leaders’ errors—because they do not know the truth!—how it was for over 10,000 years. The war mentality is very wrong, and it must be changed using the truth.
The peace mindset is this: no arms at all, so even if a sick leader wants to invade, he does not have arms to do it. Then you create an atmosphere of collaboration, harmony, truth, and trust—if a conflict appears, doctors—not soldiers!—will analyze the situation and advise accordingly, so everybody stays calm and relaxed.
It is very useful to remember Aeschylus (524 BC – 456 BC, aged 68), who, over 2500 years ago, said: “In war, truth is the first casualty.” Also, Victor Hugo says, “To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.”

Strangely enough, there is even a party called “Socialist Political Party A Just Russia—Patriots—For Truth.”
In conclusion, I would like to mention that there are about 60 components of the Spiritual and Moral Values of the Planetary World: truthfulness, benevolence, charity, dignity, forbearance, hope, humility, kindness, loving, modesty, perseverance, piety, repentance, righteous, sacredness, sincerity, steadfastness, striving, trusting, truthfulness, unity, wisdom, lifelong learning, responsibility, respect, cleanliness, self-discipline, independence, moderation, honesty, politeness, generosity, diligence, compassion, restraint, non-violence, clarity, noble, fairness, joyfulness, hard work, authenticity, objectivity, gratitude, tact, integrity, reliability, commitment, balance, empathy, sharing, resilience, filial piety, help family, enthusiasm, innovation, correctness, universalism, appreciation, and cooperation—all these components will easily be built into the character and behavior of all people on the Planet in the near future.
Much more information about all these issues can be found in my over 200 books and World Reports. I could continue to elaborate on these important subjects, but I will pay respect to Pythagoras: “Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.”
