Even if at the human scale, it is not easy to observe it around us (for some people), the history shows us that movement never stop. Where does the blood in my veins ? From Spain, Germany and probably from the UK also. Far away, my ancestors came from Viking ? What is the root of the French people ? Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Romans, Moors, Gallic, Vikings …. Jean Raspail re-edits a book (novel) written 38 years ago, about huge migration by boats from Africa to Europe. Actually, the migration has been done and will continue. In 2050, more than 50% of the European people under 55 yo will have an extra-European origin. In 2030 more than 50% of the population of the city of Brussels will be Muslim. There is a cycle for everything in the universe: the sun system, the sun, the earth, the dinosaurs, the civilization, the human life, the play of our life (transactional analysis from E Berne), the cells regeneration; maybe one thing is not a cycle: the expansion of the universe since the Bing-Bang ! Or maybe I should say: nobody found the cycle of the universe expansion… It seems unlimited !<br /><br />I think, there is no antinomy between migration and ‘sedentarization’, because even if migration has ever existed, it concerns a so few people (except for mass migration due to of war, or which concerns the two firsts level of the pyramid of Maslow). Actually, I think migration is welcome or has to be, it brings to every society or culture, a renew from outside that enriches it, by genes and memes. Think about a pond, without a water source to renew it, how the eco-system can develop ? No way !<br />In every continent, every country, every society, every company, every group of people, migration is an opportunity of renewal……the source of life !<br /> <br />Seeing the movement of humans as global, within a long period of time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813615200379393630noreply@blogger.com
