Our planet has no borders as it revolves around the sun. National boundaries vanish in the boundless reaches of space, and we become global citizens. It serves as a reminder that the world is simply one frail house, imploring us to take care of it, defend it, and do away with the artificial barriers that separate us.
Ideology carves the most deepest trenches.

In fact, the question of the essence of Europe is not mysterious or unanswerable. ... But let us not worry about sterile questions on the true borders and ethnic entities of Europe. There is no doubt that Europe has neither a substantial popular base nor strong borders to the east and the southeast, nor an unequivocal religious identity ... The question should not be: who, according to what criteria and what traditions, belongs to a "true Europe"? ... but: which scenes do Europeans play in their decisive historical moments? What are the ideas that animate them, the illusions that mobilize them? How has Europe achieved its driving history and by what means does it keep moving? Where does Europe's power and unity run the risk of failing?" [Peter Sloterdijk | If Europe Awakes]
