War of the World

I find it amusing that even though we live on one planet we talk as though we are form different worlds. Now forgive me if I have got this wrong, but I thought that the plant was the world and that the divisions within it were countries. But that seems to hinder the classifications that some use to describe things with. Now we are not only divided into nations into nations and races but also the worlds we come form.

This leads to the question, what are these worlds that people speak of? The only thing I can come up with to justify this is that they are philosophical worlds. So my quest to find these worlds physically is thawed because they are philosophical.

Isn’t there enough division physically, by natural boundaries that we have to add divisions of the mind? Oceans, mountains and physical locations don’t seem to be enough; we have to add thinking to this regiment? And it is not enough to make it a lower class division, like a nation but a world, which would mean that this little planet is host to one physical world and many philosophical ones.

This line of thought puts me in my own little world, thinking of all the divisions and boarders that separate and categorize. To the point where I started wondering how I saw myself on this planet and if I saw myself as a citizen of a nation or of the world, if I favored being counted as a human inhabitant or a member of a governing body.

On settlement of this dilemma am I then to choose a line of thinking as well? To then further separate me and segregate me. It is a favored tactic to divide and conquer by those facing superior forces. So am I a pawn in some chaotic war game?
