Raindrops trickling lonely down a window pane progress slowly, each feeling uncertainly its own crooked path. Astheir number grows, the lonely travellers fuse into small streams, forming subsequently a compact layer of water.

The rain drops on the window pane resemble history of mankind.

The entire history of human race is a successive story of individuals joining others, combining their efforts, joining their forces, teaming up to form families, clans, settlements, city states, township villages, state units, empires...

Such affinity to create alliances was originally driven by common defense, joint work, and also insatiable desire to conquer space, tribes and nations. Yet this driving force was also fed by the awareness and experience of limited prospects in the absence of co-operation.

Present alternatives have cornered the lonely runner. The history of mankind reached a point when conscious co-operation is inevitable. Global issues are to be addressed as a shared effort, there is no time to be wasted in gaining individual experience.

Global, continental, professional and other communities are formed to consiously enter mutually beneficial agreements.
