Dear visitor
Land is made of only earth and soil which has no mind or preference as to who should live upon it, and never will. It has never been within nature itself to possess lines or marked territory, only that which the human race in their own minds have decided should be made physical upon maps and across the ground with barbed wire borders and signs.
The culture of human religion states that all of this inert earth has been made by the creator of peace and light for the human race to live upon. Therefore if it has been promised to mankind, the test of time is how mankind can actually share and mark out fairly the amount of space each tribe will need to continue.
Selfishness of self interest fails the test outright, and the consequences are war and hate, have you all not already witnessed enough of that sort of thing? To us you all look quite the same (as Penguins may also look all the same to you) A pity you humans cannot all get along in peace as we do.
Yours to ponder and work out what sort of future you desire of the human race and can all live with.
