520 |a When we talk about international issues, the meaning is pretty clear—issues concerning nations across-board. In this we wish to look at the issue of common good across nations. May be one could ask if there is any "Good" that is internationally common. The answer may seem obvious but a deeper look reveals something different, hence this article. In the same vein, the adage that "what is good for the goose is also good for the gander" sounds too theoretical to be real. In practical terms, experience shows that most people never enjoy what others lavishly expend. Some people wish themselves the pleasure of seeing the four walls of a school even late in their age, while some people graduate at an unimaginable young age. In this article: Common good across borders …; we argue that the good prevalent in the developed nations should be made available to the developing nations as well. This does not mean a conformism, but a uniformity in diversity. The salvation of the human person for St. Athanasius does not concern only the soul but the whole of the human person, i.e., body and soul; this includes all human beings of any nationality. Analogically, the good of the human person embraces not just particular people, a chosen group, a hybrid but the entire humanity. One is able to strive forward in the face of difficulties if one sees oneself as part of a global community. Concretely, it entails leaders seek the good not just of the members of their particular nations, but also of members of other nations. The leaders of nations that do not adequately care for the global good of others would be very deficient, ineffective, and characterised as incompetent. In the same vein any individual, who clings to his or her particular nation or autonomy or seeks only one’s well-being without adequate reference to the global community or the macro group is surely on the false direction. Such a person is selfish and may sooner or later discover that without the macro-community, one’s reference point though the micro community would eventually not succeed adequately and may not fundamentally reach the self-fulfilment one desires.
