Because a truly great country wouldn’t leave the rest of the world behind.
I’m not against making my country great again.
Who wouldn’t want the place they call home to thrive?
But here’s the question:
Does greatness have to come at the expense of others?
Can we redefine what greatness means — not just for one nation, but for the whole planet? INCLUDING all nations?
Maybe it’s time for a new acronym:
MEGA – Make Earth Great Again.
A world where my country still shines, but doesn’t cast a shadow over the rest.
What is “Greatness”, Anyway?
For far too long, “greatness” has been measured by domination.
The biggest GDP. The strongest military. The loudest voice at the table.
But is that really greatness? Or is it simply hubris?
True greatness doesn’t isolate or separate, it elevates and includes. It lifts others. It inspires collaboration, not conquest. It cultivates wisdom, not just wealth.
What if greatness meant creating a world where all can thrive — not just a chosen few behind their own national borders?
No Country Is Separate From the Earth
Wanting my country to thrive is natural. But it still lives on this Earth.
And this Earth is shared. Interconnected. Fragile — and miraculous.
The idea that one place can become “great” while the rest of the world suffers…
That’s not ambition. That’s assumption.
Climate, health, food, peace, environment — these things don’t respect borders.
No matter how high the walls, how big the military or how strong the economy,
a burning planet burns for all.
Making Earth great again includes making my country great — not instead of it.
Because my country is part of this world, not apart from it.
A New Definition of Greatness
So what would it mean to make Earth great again?
It could mean a world where:
- Clean air and water are guaranteed.
- A planet where all the world’s resources are declared the common heritage of all the world’s people.
- Food is grown in harmony with nature and freely shared.
- Education is a given, not a privilege.
- Energy is free from fossil fuels and free for all.
- Nature and the environment is thriving.
- Innovation serves life, not profit.
- Collaboration instead of domination.
- Greatness becomes a shared project — not a contest.
In the world I imagine in my book Waking Up — greatness looks very different from what we’ve been taught.
It’s not about standing tallest, but about reaching widest.
It’s not about control, but about contribution.
MEGA as a Movement
MEGA isn’t a critique. It’s a calling.
It’s not anti-patriotism — it’s much deeper and wider than that. It asks us to expand our love of country into love of planet. and humanity.
Because when the Earth thrives, so does my country. So do all countries.
> Let’s stop trying to win the world — and start caring for it and each other.
That might be the greatest thing we ever do.
If this vision resonates with you, dive deeper into a future where worth is no longer defined by artificial standards, and greatness is measured by human flourishing and planetary harmony.
My novel Waking Up explores what MEGA could actually look like — not as a slogan, but as a lived reality. 🌍
