We are but it hardly matters. It's an irrelevant metaphor that holds no weight in reality. It offers no solution nor does it provide new insight. Enjima we could have united the world by substituting "Ethiopia" with "the earth" in that question. Don't neglect that power is the currency of the world, not sovereignty. We do not. Even the "for our families" part assumes all of us prioritize family. We don't. At least not all of us. In reality, hopes and dreams are achieved in priority. Hardly anyone prioritizes family over themselves nor do they get to achieve any dreams. Survival motivates more people than dreams. Nice hope. But I fail to see its importance unless all citizens have the same mindset as you
