This is a very good topic to write on this week. Because in all honesty our world really needs healing. And when we talk about healing the world, just like it was written in the prompt, a lot of people feel maybe we need more money, infrastructures, advanced technology and the likes. I won't deny that all of these things are good and will make life easier for us all, but then are the cure needed to heal this world? What exactly is the essence of a rich and technology filled world without love/kindness.
Take my country for instance, Nigeria. We have a lot of talented, hardworking, knowledgeable, brilliant, and intelligent people. Some don't even know what or the whole of what they possess yet. Should we talk about the amount of natural resources we have too, even still we are here struggling and barely surviving each day. Corruption, insecurity, fear, poverty, tribalism and such are the various things that we struggle with.
So, with all of those things that we have, won't you ask me why we are still leaving in "multidimensional poverty." It is because a lot of our leaders and people holding top positions are there for their own personal gain, most of them are greedy and they are not concerned about nor care for we the citizens. Just imagine what it would look like if we really cared about one another, imagine what it would look like if we always helped each other, imagine what it would look like if our leaders were indeed serving us.
And I feel that is how it is across the world. Greed has taken over and we no longer care about the other person. That is one of the reasons why we see countries going to wars, because most choose hate and violence, that's why you see families breaking because they choose pride over forgiveness and understanding, and that's why you see people suffering while their next neighbor is living life to the fullest. You see someone in need and you feel looking away is the best solution... Common.., we can't heal that way. Love really needs to return to our world.
I agree that the world really needs to develop more, and infrastructures, good roads, good health care and a whole lot more are very important for it to really develop, but then love is important too. Love should be the actual foundation, if love is the foundation it will hasten and facilitate all of these things. Healing the world don't just concern those holding high positions, it also concerns and should start with you and I.
