In her blog Sarah Dion asks what would providing the basic needs to everyone in the world do to the world? Is there some kind of balance in the world with the way it is?
To be honest, I really do not want to sound pessimistic, but as stated in Sarah's blog as well as mine, there can be steps taken to illiminate the obstacles keeping people from receiving their basic need but I don't think it i possible to provide basic needs to everyone. In my world I would love it to happen, but then after thinking about it it can't and you know why, we are greedy people. Our basic needs aren't our basic needs anymore. This has been discussed already, but I think it is a sad enough reality for it to be discussed again. People aren't happy with what they have and the things that we knew as basic needs, the THREE things that we knew as basic needs no longer suffice people. If everyone had their basic needs met they will constantly want more or better (than that of someone else). Nothing would be good enough and people would eventually try to outdo each other like they are now. I believe the world started out with everyone having their basic needs met but as time passed, the line between need and want became a thin one and then it stared to blur. As sad as it is to admit, there is a balance in the world now, I don't know if there can be a greater balance. I would love for evryone to have a house and for everyone to prosper, but the fact of the matter is, that if there was a constant with basic needs, the population would grow and then eventually, we would all die.
WIth that said , I was in class and the topic of a beautiful world (beautiful reality) came up. To you what does a beautiful world mean and how would you describe your own beatiful world if you had to construct it?
