The world could be different. No wars, no conflicts, everybody living in harmony with each other. Communities interact and communicate without rancor and reservation. People moving freely across borders and engaging in trade without any racial prejudices. This would be an idealist's dream.
But the world is a messed up place, getting worse by the day. Racial and religious intolerance and ideological bigotry has unleashed a ruthless enemy; the terrorists of today and they are everywhere.
With the advent of the internet, communicating across the globe is a breeze. With modern and fast transportation, the world has become a global village. As a result new opportunities and threats have emerged. The digital divide between people who have access to modern technology and those that don't, means that the gap between the rich and poor have become even bigger.
Globalization is a part of life and is here to stay. Those who are against it claim that it has not reduced poverty instead it only enhances the opportunities for people who are already rich.
For better or worse we have to live with what we have. We have to live our best life so that we can make our best contribution.
This isn't a bad idea even if came from the dilusional mind of an individual who is fully exhausted and has dozed off under the shade of a banyan tree in the scorching sun.
