What's happening to the world ?
This planet, is it still a great place to live in or has it become a place full of animosities,hatred,hardship and sufferings?
Mass medias bring to us news of war every single day. There's war in almost every continent of this earth. Each awakening day we are served with news of war, war and more wars.
Never ending conflicts that has taken thousands and thousands of lives. Sufferings of the human kind has gone to far extremes and beyond belief. Serious questions , have to be raised , are all these for justified causes ,what have become to the human race or have we all evolved to become another species of being ?
A disturbing thought does cross the mind, how far are these phenomenas going to go on? How worse could things get? What kind of future could we promise the generations to come ?Is there hope for the world , to be a really peaceful place to live in?
A world where people of all nations and race, people of all religions and beliefs, people of all languages,culture and traditions, have the basics love and respect and understanding towards one another. A world that have respect for the human life and human rights.A world that strives to ensure that every single being in this world can have a fair chance of living a decent life.Or is this too ideal or too unrealistic of a hope, to hope for? Are you going to be laughed at, for dreaming such a dream?Or are going to be called a naive , a fool ?
The fact, that the world is no longer a peaceful,promising place for human race, is staring right at us and we can no longer deny this fact.Or is mankind really on the brink of a precipices, waiting for the right time for its ultimate destruction?
These all sounds so scary, so depressing,so hopeless, as if nothing could be done, but if we search deep inside ourselves we will realized that the miracle of change could start right within each and everyone of us. Positive changes no matter how small it might be,would contribute positive effects to the human kind.
Prejudice is known to be the cause of all sorts of rivalries and hostilities, if these could be removed than the impact would bring people closer and more tolerant.Greed is yet another monster, that eats up every good and noble qualities of mankind. When greed enters the heart of a human race it will lead to destroying each other , thus keeping greed at a far distance would definitely has it's rewards.
There's so much more that we can bring ourselves to ponder and change. Bring changes in yourself and you would definitely contribute to changing the world. If every human being, no matter who they are,where they are, what position they are in, strive to change themselves for the better , there will definitely be hope for the world to be a better place .What do you think? Agree ? Do not agree? Nonsense?
Whatever it may be,there is nothing wrong,to put yourself in the "pause" mode for a while, to ponder and reflect.
We could use whatever time that work fo us to reflect,while doing our workout, we could reflect, while taking our morning walk, you can reflect, before going to bed, while eating ,how about while stuck in traffic jams, under the shower , commuting in the subways, muslims are encourage to wake up during the night to meditate,ponder and pray.
The point to all of these, is to bring ourselves to the awareness of our existence in this WORLD. Are we a significant being or just another insignificant life form.
One person could change a nation and that same person could destroy the world. Which state are we in? REFLECT BEFORE YOU ACT, that 's THE LEAST WE CAN DO TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS because OUR ACTIONS EFFECT THE OTHER OCCUPANTS OF THIS WORLD DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.
