Have you ever wondered what the world could be like? Have you ever sat down on one of those filmy green logs in the woods and just IMAGINED? Imagine, a world where people love each other for the sake of loving, where deeds are done for the sake of giving, where promises are always kept because one should be honest.
I feel that people are so tired to the point that they have almost given up. They have forgotten, amidst the monthly bills to pay, their 9 to 5 jobs, the chaos in the world, what it means to truly live-to be joyful and happy. I can’t blame them for that. We all have to put food on the table and often it isn’t easy. But in the last few days I’ve really been thinking about our way life. Perhaps there was a better way to live, which doesn’t include 9 to 5 jobs or constant stress. With the technology we have today, perhaps we don’t even need to work. We can let machines do most of the work for us. That way, we’ll be able to focus on improving the quality of our lives and others around the world. Every morning when I wake up and see a roof over my head, when I have breakfast, it pains me to think that there are so many people who are not able to have these simple things a lot of us take for granted. There are an apparent 925 million hungry people in the world according to 2010 statistics. http://www.worldhunger.org/articles/Learn/world%20hunger%20facts%202002.htm .In India alone, 2011 statistics recorded that 42% of children under five are underweight and 60% are stunted. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45954665/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/t/indias-national-shame-kids-malnourished/) I’ve walked the streets of Delhi and believe me, I’ve seen hundreds of people hungry and without homes. They live on the streets, through rain and sunshine. Children pick up food that others have dropped on the ground in order to eat it or sell it.

There is no need for this. If we put our mind to it we can really transform the world overnight. Instead we are going to war and fighting with each other. So much money is being spent on killing instead of living. I wonder, how many of those soldiers in the Middle East even know what they are fighting about?

We cannot fight to make peace. If we want peace we have to be at peace with ourselves and the world. We are One. Fighting with each other was never affordable and now this is showing more than ever. Our planet has been abused to the point that any further destruction can no longer be tolerated. If we truly care about life, we have to be the change we want to see for the world. It takes courage at first and nobody is perfect. But we must make a collective effort. Every time before I do something I try to think of what the planet will be like in seven or eight generations time. I think of our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren…will what I do today enable them to live in a better world?
