Humanity’s Last Hurrah or the Start of Love!

Join us for music, comedy, poetry and laughter as we discuss views and philosophy towards promoting life.

Every year people around the world mark Memorial Day, Hiroshima Day, Veterans Day and more. After participating in and holding events for Hiroshima Day and other markers of the inhumanity of mankind, Vahid Razavi, the founder of this site, decided to stop marking the inhumanity of war. This is not an attempt to forget the pain and suffering caused by war and destruction, but rather to focus on what can bring us together to see above global conflicts.

Simply put, there are not enough days in a year to mark all genocides and crimes of war, death and destruction. We cannot keep commemorating war every year — and the people that participate in them and cause them — and expect different results for the future. Our goal is to share the philosophy for the living.

Our event series is based on the ten principles of GoAmour. Any of the participants, speakers and artists invited to the event are welcome to add to the list of these principles, and we welcome that with open arms. Having said that, we will stick with our principles and look for folks who can enrich our community by adding to them. We have a policy of addition and not subtraction.

Completion of the series

With tremendous gratitude to everyone who watched and participated in our three-part event series for GoAmour.com, titled “Humanity’s Last Hurrah or the Start of Love!”, I am announcing the completion of this series. I had the honor of hosting it starting on August 1st, 2024.

As I shared throughout the events, our goal was never to influence US elections or the general public’s vote. That’s a job reserved for others. After all, I’ve only been in the United States for four-fifths of my life. I wouldn’t even dare to attempt such a thing! My goal was to share and build on the plight of humanity, to bring a smile to your face during these difficult times, and to make you ponder what’s possible if we all think beyond our own needs and desires and share our love for collective humanity.

Along the way, I shared the principles of GoAmour and invited others to contribute to the list. I encourage you to review these principles at your convenience. The events are now available for viewing anytime on our YouTube channel and the Internet Archive.

A huge thank you to the speakers, comedians and musicians who participated in these events. They wouldn’t have been possible without their active involvement. Please continue supporting these wonderful individuals and the charities they highlighted during the events.

My current focus is building the ForeverPeaceNow.com platform, the world’s smallest pyramid — a tetrahedron with a tremendous impact that I discussed in the event series. To see if I possess the necessary skills, I’ve initiated a call to action: recycling the “ax” (axe) between two San Francisco Bay Area higher education institutions. This is to gauge my effectiveness in these efforts. Here is an online petition regarding the axe between UC Berkeley and Stanford University. It includes my intentions and a brief history. I encourage you to review it and kindly lend your support by signing and sharing this post with others.

With immense gratitude, love, and solidarity with all peace-seeking souls!
