World Peace - what will it be like?



Halfway through a cup of coffee, had a thought... (Thanks in part to the wonderful effects of caffeine!)

What would the world look like when we attain world peace? (Yes, WHEN and not IF. I'm optimistic!)

How would it be... living in a world without wars, without discrimination, without poverty and hunger, without destruction?

If your answer is "BORING!!" then we have a long way to go...

What I hope for:

News headlines CELEBRATING LIFE and its achievements
Death & destruction few and none at all
Progress of people from every culture, every age, any gender.


Equal opportunities without discrimination nor inferiority
Unbiased sharing of knowledge and sharing ideas
Understanding without prejudice, acceptance with open mind
The attainment of each and every persons's potential


Of greenery, of wildlife abundance & diversity
Breathing air pure and clean

The request for help heeded,
Cries of desperation & helplessness silenced

The growth of knowledge in the self, the community, the world
A feeling of gratefulness for every day that we've lived.

Yes, today some of us are closer than others in experiencing this. But it ain't world peace till everyone's livin' it.

First step begins with the simple belief that world peace is possible... And it's NOT a bore, but a world of infinite possibilities.


Salaam!

World Bank & IMF Meeting in Singapore

 
Was watching StarNews Asia. Interesting report.
 
" The dispute of the protests have cast an unwelcome spotlight on Singapore's political restrictions and curbs on freedom of expression "
 
" While Singapore sees IMF/World Bank Meetings as an opportunity to show off its economy and ability to hold world class events...."
 
It's quite the irony to see the plastered faces of the "4 million smiles" of Singaporeans welcoming the WB/IMF delegates... in empty closed off roads and streets. In another news clip, indoor demonstrations/protests require us to register our names. Stifling indeed.
 
But hey, security is important and the law's to be respected. But seriously, if the ban on street protests were really lifted, will we care? Will we go out and hold banners and shout slogans? Will Singaporeans stop traffic to voice their grieviance? I think majority will not, for self-security, for survival, for fear of retaliation. For we've been ingrained to prioritise economic development above all unfortunately. How long does it take for us to mature out of this narrow road?
 
 Peace!

Better Late than Never!

 
OK, OK. So I jumped on this blogging bandwagon really really late. Kind of skeptical about it in the beginning, wondering why the heck would people wanna pour out their thoughts for everyone else to read. Is there nothing kept personal these days??

But there's no fighting it! Succumbed to the wave of times... I'm a blogging virgin no more! Just like everyone else, Zaf's blog will have whatever she fancies :) Hopefully, most of the time, it'll have some benefit to everyone reading.
 
Peace!
