Ecstatic living entails a constant willingness to leave the safe, secure, familiar place, and to reach out to others even when that involves risking one's own security. On an international scale, this means a foreign policy that goes far beyond the question "How can our nation survive?" It would be a policy primarily concerned with the survival of humanity and willing to make national sacrifices. It would be a policy which realizes that idolizing the security of the nation endangers the whole of humanity. It would be a policy which places being human before being American, Russian, Cuban, Nicaraguan, or Mexican. In short, it would be a policy that seeks to liberate nationas from their mutual fear and offer ways to celebrate our common humanity.
