LGVN opinion

Culture, Fads and Fashions - an ongoing page of Looking-Glass based opinions.

Speak E-asy

Before the Internet, public communication across the world was incredibly limited in comparison to what is now achievable via a personal computer. The web's greatest asset is the ability to leap back and forth across international boundaries indefinitely, sharing awareness by crossing continents in a way that bypasses most country's political aspirations, fuelled by their spin-doctors and propaganda.
Although still far to go, there is an ever-growing potential for the Internet to seriously become the ultimate medium in achieving global peace; to strip away the façade and prejudice that we have previously grown up with and step outside our own cultural back yard, simply at the press of our browser's "connect" button. We can now meet and greet in global friendship - a boundless voice of compassion across the internet that can touch the hearts of millions, regardless of creed or colour, as ordinary people from eall cultures now have the ability to share concerns from their own hearts. Blogs, forums and other forms of interactive tools for the web community are helping to lay a foundation for public expression to evolve; an ideal gateway through which you can offer a welcoming hand to cultures so different from your own. Email, messaging and chat - when used sensibly can show how the moral fibre of life touches our inner emotions in much the same way - whatever part of the world we live. Around the world those good tidings can be absorbed with more personal effect than any TV or newspaper alone can express, and perhaps a tapestry of humanity's hopes may be better woven into something truly tangible; only possible by the web's facility of direct interaction between one ordinary human and the next - and for others to share.
Of course there are fantasists and crooks who infiltrate and exploit the web medium for unsavoury reasons, but these bad apples pale into insignificance against the millions who would rather persevere to see the internet spread a peaceful karma.

The web has created an entirely new way to mediate a positive thought and potentially heal a bad situation on many levels. Used wisely, and as a tool to promote good causes, it allows any person in the street to make a genuine difference.
Much of the world now has the ability to heal through this global maze of cyber-consciousness and with
this simple thought in action the Internet can show us that we are not all as different to each other as we might have once imagined. It's time realise that we all feel the same passion, joy and sorrow.

Looking-Glass - updated January 2006

 

Animal Nation... Behind the façade of an animal loving UK

From the effects of Foot and Mouth Disease to the appalling treatment of animals used for sports in Great Britain and Ireland, cruelly discarded or killed when they cannot supply any further financial reward ...more
