Maybe we should have our worst historical enemies write our history textbooks for us.
Maybe we could:
- teach our more kids and adults to be healthier - teach them to be more than physically fit (as in master of slow and/or fast sport) - teach them to be wise about society, groups and empathy - teach them to be stronger emotionally
It's probably possible to have a culture that is strong yet friendly to foreigners, traits that reinforce themselves because you don't fear.
