One world: a world where everyone is happy, mingling together, celebrating the diversity, accepting the differences, promoting faith in kindness and humanity. In that world, every person had a reason to smile, and only one aim: to make that world a better place to live for everyone.
But alas! It was just a dream.
But that dream proved to be a special one- because it made me compare the world in which I live and the world in which I want to live.
You may say I’m a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one.
I hope some day you’ll join us,
and the world will live as one.
-John Lennon
The 21st century world has come closer due to industrial globalization.
What about globalization on the humanitarian grounds?
Why are there so many people dying in the Palestine? Why do Muslims feel unsafe in Cairo (Egypt)? Its
not all so rare to hear news about racism related crimes, or sex related abuse.This is the world we live in – where distances, discrimination and domination rule. Now take a moment and think of this world as community of human beings. Don’t let national borders, religion, faith race or sex disturb your thoughts. Thats the world we all will like to live in.
How do we create such a world? Is it even possible? If yes, who will do it?
Think about every person you see, you meet as a human being first. Forget about his job qualification, language, colour, etc. Start empathizing with his feelings and concerns. And trust me, in no time, you will see how alike we are as humans. And if we as a global community come together, identify with each others problems, suggest solutions, help implement those solutions, it wont be long before the world we live in will become the world we want to live in.
The feeling you get when a child smiles (and you know you are the reason behind that smile) when an elderly person trusts you and relies on you for support, or the depth of thankfulness you see in the mother’s eyes when you save her child are the same all around the world. Its not about the religion, country, race or sex; Its about all of us being humans.
P.S. – If you have never experienced one of these priceless feelings, you have not lived life enough.
Start living today.
