To the North China, the largest
communistcountry in the world.
To the South India, the largest
democraticcountry in the world.
Solving the ideological conflict between
communism and democracy is in Nepals national
interest.
15Fundamental Problem
Instead of focusing on "power" (control vs.
freedom) Headwing Ideology focuses on
"education." Principle education generates
self-control through development of a
God-centered conscience.
16Headwing Ideology
Right Wing and Left Wing Both need ? Headwing.

18Interdependence
Ownership in both capitalist and socialist
economies are simply material possession. They
lack the dimension of love. Human beings were to
exercise joint ownership (stewardship) over all
thingswith a heart of gratitude to God. In
Creation for example all birds own the sky all
fish own the ocean, all animals own the land.
No single bird, fish or animal monopolizes
everything. In a family, the property is
legally owned by the parents. But more important
than a legal document, children always have a
heart of gratitude and love towards their parents
and take good care of the family property as if
it were their own.
19Mutual Prosperity
This is ownership of government and requires a
public-minded attitude it is spiritual in
nature. In Western societies the policy of
separating church and state has, in effect,
removed ethical and moral principles from
governing. Communists call themselves a peoples
democracy, but outlaw religion altogether. Both
systems of government have become self-serving
governments of their party, by their party, for
their party. If the spiritual and moral
dimensions of social order are not addressed,
then these economic developments will be
undermined, as we are seeing today in both
democratic and communist societies.
20Universally Shared Values
The concept of universal values is the very core
of an ideal society. If we cannot find universal
ethics and morals that resonate with all cultures
and religions, we will never be able to create a
world that is peaceful, interdependent and
co-prosperous.
21Three Responsibilities
Families of True Love
Character ofGoodness
Societies of Co-prosperity
Universal Morals ( most essential )
Universal Ethics
One Family Under God
22The Family A Paradigm of Good Governance
The basic values and virtues of good governance
are all taught in the model family. Building
families of true love is more fundamental and
important to the well-being of society than any
other tradition, including freedom of speech
rule of law freedom of religion ownership of
private property multi-party, free and fair
elections, etc.
23End of Conflict
The fighting and conflict cannot end in an era of
democracy of brothers but will only come to
an end in the era of parent-centered thought
(headwing ideology).
