DAY 1 – A Common Basic Desire

I am taking a bus trip around the world and have seen what people are doing in their daily routines in every corner of the planet. There are those at work, some in the classroom and others at play. The young are busy just like their elders. The religious help the needy as do the non-religious. There are people who overindulge in what they eat alongside the malnourished. Both the rich and those less well-off work very hard.

Every person no matter their lot in life have the same desires for themselves, their loved ones and humanity as a whole. No one wants difficulties whether short in duration or extended over time. All wish that their problems would disappear in order to find love, happiness and a fulfilling life.

It became apparent that human beings living in every nation and a member of every religion, race, ethnicity along with people of differing sexual orientations have a common basic desire to have a personally better life and to live in a collectively better world. This has been the heartfelt hope for humanity since the first humans walked this earth.

I now realize that I am no different than any other human being in my desire to have a better life and to live in a better world.
