Global Village - Are we ready

It is said that we are living in a global village, any act of ours has a global impact. In one way or the other we seem to get impacted or have an impact on lot more people than we expect.

But are we ready to join this global village,

• Do we have the means to survive in this new world
• Are we rooted deeply to our past so that we do not get pushed out into a unknown future
• Do we have the means of communication to understand and appreciate the things around us

Mankind has been evolving from ages, ancient texts from across the various civilizations ( Greek, Romans, Egyptian and our Indian ) tell us that mankind was very progressive. But we living in today's world think that we are at a higher state of evolution than them.

Our ability to live with nature is a subject for another rambling.

Look at the world around us, there is so much in intermingling of races and cultures. Let us take India for example, the inflow of people moving across the states. It certainly has increased in the past few years, more and more cities are becoming cosmopolitan. There is access to the whole world from even the smallest of villages. More and more Indians are travelling abroad and settling down. Similarly we see a lot more people from across the world settle in India. But have be grown intellectually to assimilate the new surroundings. Have we grown to appreciate the small nicecites in each of these communities and enrich ourselves.

That is the thought to think.

As Woodrow Wilson said

"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with a greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world and you impoverish yourself if you forger that errand"
