Cohesion

As I drove along the highway from KL to Johore Bharu, there are landscaping on the dividers and natural vegetation along both sides of the highway. On some places are different species of plants & trees. On some areas are the same type but with different colors.

This reminds me of the beauty of ‘globalization’ whereby the world no longer makes up of countries or races but only of different background and personalities. I have been to different countries but one of the charms of Sarawak is the acceptance of the different races and cultures as part of our live. Inter-marriages of different races are not uncommon. It is getting more and more difficult for me to gauge what is the race of the person. Putting politics aside, the acceptance and tolerances level is high in Sarawak.

Recently, I receive the following email in my inbox:

Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:-
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge FAILURE because of the following:

1. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
2. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
3. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
4. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
5. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
6. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
8. In Australia they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.


I do not agree with the above content but it depicts my belief that the world needs something in common to be able to resolve the challenges she now faces.

I also believe that everyone is basically born with violet but as we grow older, we are being conditioned to think and act otherwise.

The thing in common would be the language of LOVE filled with compassionate and care. Imagine how wonderful the world would be if it consists of collections of CV's concept communities. I believe this is the essence of the globalization and thus making our presences in the universe memorable, meaningful, magical and most of all, joyful.
