In a colorless world, even the sky would seem dismal and stale. We would live in endless winter days of stagnant gray and the heat of the sun would not penetrate the clouds of ignorance. My ideal of a global village comes into view as a world where the hues of color overflow in purple skies, silver rain, and rainbow-ed people. Sharing our wealth will make us all stronger because diversity breeds strength. Curiosity allows movement past the fear of the sphere's boundary into the void where differences can be made.
Patience slows the formulation of criticism which clouds judgment and unfairly scorns.
Compassion facilitates the ability to understand characteristics of people which make us so similiar and yet so different. The establishment of peace and harmony within the community depends on the global villagers' ability to use the attributes mentioned above to focus a diverse spectrum of experiences into one resolved yet colorful image. From within The Void, I shine the beam of my own uniqueness as a beacon. With a network between the spheres, a true global village can be fortified on Maryland's campus. Someone has comforted the animal in the chasm.
