I look at countries vying for power in the world, vying to be the most powerful…and ask myself, “Why?”

I am from a country that use to have the largest empire the world has ever known, England, and where is that now? I am about to visit a country that had its own small empire, Portugal, and where is that? Portugal is next to a country that had its own small empire, Spain, and where is that? Europe is littered with the remains of another large empire, the Roman Empire. Look at that now.

They all go the same way. Why waste the energy and upset in trying to create them, to be, supposedly, number one? They all crumble to dust in the end.

Let’s do a much harder thing…get on with and support each other.
