I've been fortunate to have been able to travel the world extensively. If you get off the tourist path, it is truly a life changing experience.
You find that there is so much pain and suffering in the world, but also so much compassion and beauty. You also discover ways in which you can make your own society better.
I ascribe to the maxim, "think globally, act locally".
I consider myself a planetary citizen, and as such I proactively try to act in ways, and think of ways, in which to make this small blue planet better, both in the present, and in the future.
