Turkmenistan - what is it ?

I want to say everybody about my country

MY DESERT

How to find words in order to tell about the desert beauty about the sincere generosity of my people about its age-old wisdom and kindness?


According to an ancient legend in immemorial times the great turkmen desert was stroken by an unprecedented drought people hunger and death. There remained nothing living in the desert everything around was dead. A lonely traveler who lost his way could neither slake his thirst satisfy his hunger. Only in one hearth fire hardly gleamed a sure sign of life. An emaciated old man welcomed the guest with kind words and offered him the rests of a thin soup.

The stranger was astonished by his action because the old man welcomed him as the dearest guest giving him his last food thereby dooming himself to sure death. But being a stranger in this steppe he couldn t know that the old man couldn t act otherwise couldn t break the sacred law of hospitality.


Yes it s legend but what a deep meaning is concealed in it what a selfless goodness and unselfishness it goes about…

The desert is the keeper of age-old folk customs the treasury of wisdom of all generations which lived here. The desert does never disclose its secrets to the weak it always tries its sons with severe snow-storms biting merciless winds heavy showering heat thirst endless distances.


In the boundless desert very hot in summer even for people who live here under intense heat of about 60 C and sand-storms . In order to live in the desert and not be a stranger in it the man must also take here deep roots which will give him strength and faith.


The Turkmen people will never forget how the ancient town Urgench which long months resisted the iron hordes of the bloody Genghiz-Khan was seized. A traitor the son of a man respected by everyone opened the town s gates. But how could a viper be born from a falcon? As it turned out he has been taken far away from his native town as a boy and returned as a grown man not remembering his kinship not knowing its customs.


The desert is our great teacher.

HARMONY IN SOCIETY



World harmony

My idea is to look for new ideas for harmonizing all sides of civil society.

By harmony I mean a world where individuals and communities collaborate across borders to resolve global challenges and where solutions are rooted in cultural understanding inspired by a sense of shared responsibility in each other's lives. Harmony in civil society is strengthened by individuals empowered with skills and knowledge and sustained through open communication, exchange and friendship.


For me "harmony" means community coalition-building to support global collaboration and learning.

Consumer societies talk endlessly about individual choice but undervalue ethics, law, culture, and religion. They need to organize their communities and contact other communities to facilitate cross-cultural learning and to build a strong global harmony and a civil society.

Interest of big industrial companies and ordinary people enter the conflict in questions of protection environments .court case and so on.

To organize people in community for illumination of problems connected with breaking harmonies ,create a site and impruve for display of the vivid examples of disharmony and show how similar disputed situations are solved in other countries.
