Sitting in front of a TV set with the Responsible travel remote control on my hand, I was watching Responsible travel the days world news. Some of you might say Responsible travel "Havent you checked on the BBC?" To tell you Responsible travel the truth my appetite was not for the worlds news Responsible travel in general. Rather my interest was for a Responsible travel particular one where peace flows in it. Responsible travel I was hungry for any news that talks about Responsible travel development instead of destruction. My Responsible travel fingers were all over the remote control. But it Responsible travel was too bad that I couldnt find one. It kind of reminded me a habit done in Responsible travel Ethiopia. During holidays, its very much Responsible travel common to see people on the road carrying Responsible travel hens for the feast. But what amuses me most Responsible travel is the way the hen is carried. It is more like legs Responsible travel up and head down way. I always try to Responsible travel imagine how it would be like to see that through Responsible travel the eyes of the hen. Dont get me wrong. Responsible travel Im not missing the point here. I switched off the TV and stared at the black Responsible travel screen just for a moment. "Is it that joyful to s Responsible travel ee the whole world in war and we watch it on Responsible travel every channel?" Hell, this is not OK from my Responsible travel point of view. This is not anything joyful or Responsible travel interesting. And the reason why its on TV Responsible travel and why we end watching these all in our corner Responsible travel is because we live in time of globalisation. Am Responsible travel well aware that because this is an information Responsible travel age, no matter we think we stay apart we are Responsible travel still together, closer and within one village. And Responsible travel believe me that is not my problem. My Responsible travel problem is why we spoil the one beautiful village Responsible travel we all share. Why nations go to war Responsible travel while there is every way to live in peace and Responsible travel harmony? Why people get into conflict over Responsible travel resource where there is plenty to support Responsible travel humanity. I strongly believe that we have to learn, as Responsible travel one Chinese philosopher put it, that every war Responsible travel is lost or won even before it is fought! That teaches Responsible travel us literally not about wining and losing as such. Responsible travel It teaches us rather even in case Responsible travel of a winner there is loss. War brings to our door Responsible travel not only the destruction of our Responsible travel hard-won property, but also the loss in the Responsible travel dearest of all things in life, which is life Responsible travel itself. Then the fundamental question still hanging Responsible travel over the cloud is why then we still opt to war? Responsible travel Why we allow conflicts eat away our peace? Responsible travel Why are we living in endless conflicts while it Responsible travel is incomparably much more suitable for Responsible travel mankind to live in peace and tolerance? If Responsible travel we want we can. Because if there is a will we Responsible travel can open and see there is a way. That way might Responsible travel prove to be with ups and downs. But, I think, Responsible travel it wont be difficult to learn from each up and Responsible travel down. I do believe that sort of learning is more i Responsible travel mportant than any daily class attendance Responsible travel. And there appears no better lesson than Responsible travel such enduring but rewarding one. I think all of us must from this moment on Responsible travel promise that we wont let our minor differences Responsible travel push us to the next and worst level. Me, Responsible travel I promised to do so on this and not to Responsible travel arry the hen upside down as well! (Not that Responsible travel much funny if you were in the hens shoe). I know it seems a question full of fantasy to Responsible travel see only the good where there is not much to Responsible travel choose from. But that is not how I see it. I see Responsible travel we looking at the top when we want to look Responsible travel down and looking at the bottom when we want to look up. "Is the world upside down?" I asked my self or Responsible travel "are we in the leg up head down position like the Responsible travel holiday hens in Ethiopia?" This is serious Responsible travel which needs a serious answer. Still we Responsible travel dont need to refer volumes of books or get los Responsible travel t browsing the Internet. It is within the Responsible travel heart and minds of me, you, WE!.
