I wanna write my quick thoughts on where should we head as a society. It seems to me that no matter how many wars are there, how many lifes have fallen over the last decade, there are people who still hate other people based on skin color, religion, place of birth or politican views.

I recently found a great passport picture that could describe its owner from a modern world.

1. Birth place: Earth

I think this is a great eye-opener. We all are from the same planet. Everytime anybody thinks he's special, he can look up in the night and remember that there are hundreds of thousands of stars like our Sun with billions and billions of planets surrounding them. We are only a tiny piece of the Universe and we should value what we have.

2. Race: Human

"We hate because we are ignorant. We are a product of ignorant people, who have beeen taught an ignorant thing, that there are 4 or 5 different races... There are not 4-5 of races on the Earth.. There is only a one race in the Earth .. the human race.. And we all are members of this race."

This is how the racism was destroyed in 1 minute in this amazing speech, which all of us should see and teach our children.

3. Religion: Love

IMHO, love is the true religion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not agaist any peaseful religion out there, but people tend to hate people from other religion based on false thoughts or mistaken actions. When you deep dive into most of the religions, we will find that many of them want to spread love and compasion; not hate and arogancy.

I think, one of the greatest religious representative out there these days is Dalai Lama .. it might be also worth to watch Dalai Lama's speech on happiness.

4. Politics: Freedom

I honestly think politics is broken in most of the countries nowadays. Every party is watching their own business only pretending they wanna do good for people and the country. We've seen this all over the world from developing countries to "modern" west countries like USA, France or UK. The recent BREXIT is only one proof of that.

On the other hand, travelling through our beautiful planet is something that will make you more open to new things, including food, culture or religion. There are many things that comes with travelling, which is also described in the article "13 Amazing Things Travel Does To Your Brain" on Buzzfeed.
