Istijlál (Majesty), 3 Sharaf (Honor) 176 B.E. - Thursday, January 2, 2020
PROMPT January 2nd Yesterday, we looked to the past. Today, we’ll write about the future! (No resolutions, I promise, Robert *Wink* ) 2030 sounds so futuristic, but it’s only ten years away! What do you think the world will be like ten years from now? What inventions do you think we will have by then? What are some changes you think will happen in the world in the next ten years? If we don't do something about climate change and global warming, we're all going to end up on a beach somewhere watching our nations burn. I don't like to be a gloom and doom purveyor, because I'm sure there are other people who can do a much better job of it than I can. However, all our wonderful technology of the past, present, and future isn't going to do a dying planet or a dying race any good. The big problems that we face in 2020 and will face in the near future (2030), are global in nature. These problems can't be solved by individual human beings or individual nations, the solutions to these problems require the cooperation of all nations and of all human beings. The solution to these problems require that we accept humanity as a single species. Color, gender, gender identity, nationality, and religion are all part of the diversity that lends beauty to the human species. So, what do I believe the world will be like in ten years? I believe more people will accept the oneness of humanity. I believe that they will accept the fact that we (humanity) are all responsible for finding and working toward a united solution to the problems facing humanity and the planet. |
