Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"
All world one happy family.
A Joke: As I walked away with my bag from the carousel at Heathrow airport, I felt someone tapping at my shoulder, "Excuse me sir, that is my bag you are taking away," said the man wanting to arrest my attention.
"Did you not see the big yellow strapping I have put on thais bag?" the man continued accusing me of stealing his bag.
I handed him his bag apologising, "I did vaguely wonder why someone would have put that big yellow band on my bag, but that strapping did not worry me at all."
The world is getting better
I started this blogging, over a year ago, from the assumption that the world was a terrible place needing improvement. My focus was the abject poverty that exists in the cities of India (seen some) and of Brazil, Mexico, etc (read about). My concern was also for the treatment, or rather, the nil treatment, that the diseased and disabled received in these countries.
These days I focus more on the nicer things that already exist in the world. The sunsets, the gardens, the beauty of buildings, and of spontaneous kindness shown by the people who make the world go around, the postmen, and the bus drivers, for instance.
I am happy to notice nice things happening at a world level as well.
When President Obama was elected afro-american rejoiced in the dignity of mankind expressed by all America, that a person is to be judged solely on his abilities, and on nothing other. Many said that they thought they would never live long enough to see such days of human understanding come to mankind.
The recent trip of Her Majesty the Queen to Ireland also shows the world is getting better. Hatred is not being passed on from generation to generation, as a legacy.
Steps are being taken to bring everlasting peace in the middle east.
As far as the poor are concerned, I console myself that the people I regard as being poor may have accepted their way of life, and, in all probability. many of them are more contented than I am. I have seen residents of so called slums of cities in India enjoying their festivals more than I have every enjoyed any single day.
The others may be given strength by their own dire circumstances to win over their grime and poverty.
As far as the disabled are concerned, I am reminded that people may not be clinically healed of their maladies, yet be overcome with a spirit of joyous union with 'God' allowing them a greater degree of happiness than I ever hope to achieve.
I am so happy to see the world getting better.
Wishing you joy and abundance, Shree-1
