A great job from you personally William. Thanks for that.

But will the world soon be able to get some peace from the US, and from the aggression and the unpredictability of the president?
I'm afraid for world peace and I have great worries ...
What is your opinion on this as an insider?

I'm concerned humanity in general hasn't learned the lessons from the horror of war as well as the horror of genocide and the Holocaust. While the U.S. is contributing to the growing threat of WWIII, it is not alone. I see other countries (their leaders) playing their roles too -- North Korea with its zealous nuclear ambitions, Iran sowing seeds of terror and mayhem all across the Mideast, China making brazen territorial claims, to name just a few. The growth of religious intolerance in most parts of the world including a rise in anti-Semitism across Europe, the rejection of peoples' individuality especially in regions where people are jailed, tortured, and killed because they dare be different does not help either.

Also when considering the growing trend of hard-line rigidness, the rejection of cultural assimilation, disappearance of understanding and tolerance, I'm very concerned. I'm also concerned that this generation of leaders unlike their counterparts in the '60s, '70s, and '80s have lost their fear of nuclear weapons and insanely believe a nuclear war can be won. It cannot and humanity will lose if not become extinct. Sometimes I wonder if these leaders even value the preciousness of life or because of the digital age and video game mentality of our era, quantified lives have simply become empty statistics.

One time, I actually thought the Internet would foster understanding and respect among all peoples and prove how much alike we really are. Sadly, in this respect, I've been wrong since it is as much used as a forum to bully, spread hate, intolerance, and violence.

Perhaps we could have a better world if people did not visualize borders and in the words of White Lion's When Children Cry there were "no more presidents" and if the human race was solely inspired by love of one another and blind to judgment as well as our differences and imperfections.

I couldn't agree more to your last paragraph.

Thank you William. I agree with you.

A couldn't agree more.

Yes. It's the smile.

Good work, well done ;-)

Un beau sourire pour égayer la semaine.

Thank you for such a pretty presentation...I was just looking at some pictures of a dear friend who died some months ago. I'd gotten many nice pictures of her and it was both so nice to see them, but so very sad too. I miss her dearly. I am so sad that I must live this grand life without her to talk to ever again. Your picture makes me feel better with its soft, gentle colors and warm tones. :)
