   Why can't people (of all faiths, cultures, nationalities, etc.) be good, decent, and kind-hearted towards one another? I simply don't understand why people behave this way.
   Just call me a dreamer - hoping that, one day, we will live in an ideal Utopia :)

   Just call me a dreamer - hoping that, one day, we will live in an ideal Utopia

   Regardless one's faith or beliefs I think the majority of these two apply:

   Life
   Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
   Life is beauty, admire it.
   Life is bliss, taste it.
   Life is a dream, realize it.
   Life is a challenge, meet it.
   Life is a duty, complete it.
   Life is a game, play it.
   Life is costly, care for it.
   Life is wealth, keep it.
   Life is love, enjoy it.
   Life is mystery, know it.
   Life is a promise, fulfill it.
   Life is sorrow, overcome it.
   Life is a song, sing it.
   Life is a struggle, accept it.
   Life is tragedy, confront it.
   Life is an adventure, dare it.
   Life is luck, make it.
   Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
   Life is life, fight for it.

   Do It Anyway

   People are often unreasonable,
   illogical and self-centered;
   Forgive them anyway.

   If you are kind,
   people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
   Be kind anyway.

   If you are successful,
   you will win some false friends and true enemies;
   Succeed anyway.

   If you are honest and frank,
   people may cheat you;
   Be honest anyway.

   What you spend years building,
   someone could destroy overnight;
   Build anyway.

   If you find serenity and happiness,
   they may be jealous;
   Be happy anyway.

   The good you do today,
   people will often forget tomorrow;
   Do good anyway.

   Give the world the best you have,
   and it may never be enough;
   Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

   You see, in the final analysis,
   it is between you and God;
   It was never between you and them anyway.

   Both by Mother Teresa

   I agree with you Inas,, unfortunately human kind are altogether too self centred. (Not everyone), so it's unlikely we will ever get a Utopian society where everyone is treated as an equal and hunger is banished. We live in hope though.

   I still find it hard to believe that some people on this planet are still living like we did a thousand years ago. Not that living on this planet a thousand years ago was all that bad when you look at the rich cultures that existed back then. for example the Greeks had built a mechanical computer that was capable of predicting the phases of the moon, total eclipses and the movement of the five planets that they knew back then. Archimedes created the first gearing systems that were later to create the first mechanical clocks that enables us to navigate with safety the waters of the world and ..... well, less of the history lesson. There has always been brilliant people, but there has always also been megalomaniacs that have destroyed all we work for.
