We are one of many planets surrounding a star at the edge of a Galaxy which contains billions of other stars.  There are many other galaxies in the universe with about the same amount of stars and planets.  I think that we would be naive to think life does not exist anywhere else.  I don't know if we will ever be able to travel the distances required to find out.  Technology will have to develop a considerable amount for that.  But, considering what we have accomplished in the last 100 years, we may do it.  Maybe not in my lifetime, but in yours or your children's.

Sometimes I do.  It all depends on the perspective I am in.\n\nIt isn't a competition, we are all blessed.  Some have to face more challenges than we have to.\n\nYes, we are all truly blessed, even if we are blessed with tribulations.\n\n\nNamaste.

That is my hope.  Unless we examine the mistakes within our belief system and find new and better ways of relating to the rest of the world, we won't be able to live in peace and harmony.  Let's hope it will happen soon.

Yes we need each other.\nThere are too many global issues where we need to work together as a world to over come.  Hunger, polution so on.  If we hid in our own little corners of the world and only try to take care of our own then we lose the chance to learn from each other.  If nothing else think of the food.  Ever visit a really cuturally diverse area at the time of a festival where all cultures came together and shared their traditional foods.  Oh my goodness that alone is reason for globalization.\n\nAre we closer together?  That depends on what your comparing it to.  In general I think yes but there are strong sticking points that cause us to move backwards.  I think two of the biggest stumbling blocks are also two things often seen as strengths.  Language and Religion.  If we could just add tollorance I think anything could be possible.  The problem is that in certain areas people refuse to understand that others may think radically differently than ourselves and then we are back to square 1.

Some people believe it is. \nPersonally, I don't see anything wrong with it. When it comes down to it, we're all part of the same species..

The Planet in which we all live on.

Yes, because we are evolving into a globally concerned society, as opposed to an individually concerned one.

I'd say yes and no.\n\nYou can't answer all the world's issues.  However, God may want you to help answer one or two issues.  Think of Martin Luther King, Jr., for example.  A Christian preacher, he helped to overturn Jim Crow in the South.  \n\nIf there's an issue you care deeply about, chances are God want to use you to help address that issue.  Think of Queen Esther, or Moses.  Also, John the Baptist criticized King Herod for taking his brother's wife as his own.  Jesus took a little time to address a couple of current events.  (See Luke 13:1-5.)  Remember, too, that Jesus is the savior of the world, not just of individual persons.  \n\nOn the other hand, there is this psalm:\n\nPsalm 131 (NIV)\nA song of ascents. Of David. \n 1 My heart is not proud, O LORD, \n       my eyes are not haughty; \n       I do not concern myself with great matters \n       or things too wonderful for me. \n 2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul; \n       like a weaned child with its mother, \n       like a weaned child is my soul within me. \n\n 3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD \n       both now and forevermore.\n\nMy advice: strike a balance between worry and apathy.  If God calls you to answer a cause, do so!

Yes I do!  I wish that we could all love one another.  I wish we could share what we have with those that have nothing.  To think in this "modern" age there are still wars and babies starving makes me despair.  How would I do this?  This is an age old problem which has yet to be solved.  The only solution is to ensure we take an active part in electing competent leaders who share our utopian vision.  If we do nothing, we only have ourselves to blame!

Yes it is and I can't stand it. I think we should all be our own country and stay out of others..mind our own business...honestly...I think someone should hit that big red button and fix all the problems in 2 seconds. Wouldn't it make the world so much better?! haha!

No. If we continue on in this manner we are doomed to self destruct and become a second world country. The number one problem with the American people is that we for some reason think that only people who have never struggled to make it understand the needs of the other 85% of Americans.

I don't think everyone in the world would fit in the same place at the same time...

Yes i strongly believe that we are not alone in this universe!

Absolutely. \n\nIt's where our future lies, whether we render this planet inhospitible by ourselves or through some natural disaster, that's where we'll have to go.

All of us including THEMSELVES.

I think it might be a good thing. after all we're going to need to come together sooner or later, or we'll destoy ourselves.  I say what ever it takes to unite the whole planet.
