There was a book about the world we live in. It
was written by David Smith, it is called, “If the World were a village.” If in the world, there are only 100 people living, what will it be
like? By reading this book, we can realize that we are the parts of a big great
place and there are also many people who we live with. Not only I but also the
earth and the world are a very important place to live in. We can realize that
living together is the way to win all problems. There are many people, culture,
religion and many other things that the environment made humans. In this kind
of background, this is why there are so many types of all sorts of things. None
of them is right or wrong. Everything is precious just as it is.
The
real world itself has 68 hundred million people who live now. This book also
speaks about population, language, food and also the future and past. When I
was reading, the mention about the foodstuffs made me think about the reality
in the world today. It is written like this.
In the world village, there is also stuff to
eat not only the stock. Wheat, rice, been, and vegetables… in a word, in the village
the foodstuff doesn’t lack. If the food is shared equally there will
be no one to starve. But the people don’t share the food. 30 people
occasionally starve. 17 may starve to death. Like this, 47 out of 100 are hard
to find food to eat. The other 53 can at least eat their meals frequently.
Although this is just a book about a village but it shows us the reality
and tells what we should know. It is like a wake up call for the people. There
are people who need help. If I only see for myself, I can only complain with
the things that I don’t have. But you know there
are people who are in the worst and bad situation then me. Be thankful for what
you have and if you can let us share the love to who needs it.
People are shouting peace,
peace, peace. But who is really acting for peace? By caring the ones who need
our help in this world, even though it is a very small thing, change can
happen. Be the one who really care. As you know, action speaks louder then
words.
