So I must be feeling better. I woke up this morning hungry and thoughtful. It seems everything, even my brain is back working. Yay!

Poverty is so complex. I can not imagine just one institution or country deciding how to deal with it. We have the UN and others but also large and small development agencies which I am very critical of. I woke up this morning and over my tea thought of how many different views and ideas there are in the world and how often, sadly so little of them are expressed. I become afraid when i think of how diversity in though is dying and how horrible this is for us on this planet.

I wonder what is the best way to hear new voices and opinions? Social Media? Traveling? Living in a community? But most of those voices will never be heard by those "voices of control", the heads of our countries. How often are we homogenized each day? Through media? Through society? Could a solitary hike away from civilization be a remedy for this?

How do we prevent the homogenization of our world?
