I was asked
today,
What is the
world’s problem you think you can solve?
What will you
do to solve it?
And
Why does the
world need you?
It hit me hard.
Because before today, I only thought about my self, my family, my friends, and
yeah sometimes my country, Indonesia. I have never thought that the world needs
me. That I could be the one who can solve the world’s problem.
I was taught
today to be more open-minded, to open my eyes to the world’s problem, to
realize, and understand.
I just realized
today, that the world could be different with my presence, that I live in it
and have responsibility to make the world a better place, like Michael Jackson
said on one of his songs, Heal the World.
The world could
be a beautiful place to live in, when people stop judging before they know and
understand others. People need to realize that differences mean nothing. We are
all humans. We have same rights, needs, and responsibilities. We were just
created in different packages. Like if we were all created the same, wouldn’t
it be soooo boring, right?
So throw the
differences away. Act like they don’t even exist.
Why do we need
war, when we can share and spread the love?
It's nice you know, when we can live and learn together, understand each other.
Someone had ever said, "Mountains can never reach each other despite their bigness, but people can."
Go travel, go see the world. Open your eyes wider because the world is much much bigger than we've ever expected. Once you're there, go do something that could change the world, at least someone's life.
And finally, ask yourself,
would the world be different without me?
