Rambling.

What are my problems? Not being able to buy all the gadgets I want. Not being able to visit all the countries I want. Not having enough money to snub Ambanis and Bill Gates' of world. And a few dark ones.:)
Coming to gadgets and countries, I can afford most of them, but guilt conscience comes into picture.I will do all this only when everybody else in world can do the same. (Didn't ask you to believe that)
We talk about various issues. Poverty, aids, racism, casteism, gender inequality, clash of civilizations,..
Shall we solve them one after another or go for a single shot solution? Problems vary from region to region. What is possible in one place isn't being possible in another place. How are we different from each other.
It's wonderful that 5/6 of human population goes with proper food every day. 1/2 with decent amenities. We aretalking about 6 billion homo sapiens here. So it's matter of filling the small gap to ensure affordability of gadgets and foreign travel to everybody.
Computers are good for everybody. They increase efficiency. Then, why not give one to everybody. Why does microsoft and intel sit on such large hordes of cash. If they decrease prices , affordability increase and many positive implications follow. why does a car (Metal & plastics) weighing 1 tonne cost atleast 10 times the material cost by weight? Value addition, right? What value addition, after a million or more of same piece are sold.
Why is it that, more than 50% of petrol's price is tax component? I am not advocating business without profit and govt without taxes. But then, where is accountablity?
If an article is published about holoy book, cinema star, nationalism, why do people die? Is anything worth dying or killing?
Many problems can be solved with language. Let me explain. Say everybody is educated to decent levels in same language. Say english. Everybody comes to know about working of world. I mean aspects like other religions, other economies, other production systems, other ways of agriculture, other needs. Everybody then decides for himself where he fits in. With free movement of goods, services, intellect things will even out eventually.
If we don't play our role in making things better for everybody, we will end up in same cesspool. Being good is selfish in nature and is a necessity.
I believe , with more contacts, barriers of all kinds will go down among races. Our efforts to tackle various issues will accelerate and ultimatel allow everybody to lead a reasonable life. I hope that happens soon. because I see no fun in buying gadgets and travelling once I have become old. :)
