Kaleidoscope

Not in a many years, I paid attention how the raw "land" looked like when I was in USA. I did a few times when I was about to leave on account of a job elsewhere.

From then on, I started paying attention to the land wherever I go, that lead me to wonder that the land everywhere else, in its rawness look exactly alike to my eyes as it is in USA.

Today I had such an experience out of a comparison which only brought similiarities more than differences amongst different lands. At the same time, a vivid image of me in a greyhound bus in an interstate highway in USA, watching the wilderness - the fresh trees passing by my window side came across my mind.

What people have contributed to the land, especially the contribution to themselves in making a 'not so disturbing' access to all the nature, thus allowing them to enjoy Nature at its best, in USA enthralls me. Atleast, this is my perception of the situation. I felt a natural freshness when I was driving along the curvy roads to grand canyon, and in phoenix along the mountains.

The self made singapore is similar too. There is a great deal of effort to preserve the green amidst all the modern constructions. India and China may have to work on improving accessibility to their fantastic natural scenic areas; I believe that it will be soon.

I thank Star Trek for the greatest of the inspirations which is "exploration". Since I started watching Star Trek, I have widened my perspective on phenomenon around me and the ones that I observed earlier. The possibility that there could be other worlds, similar in landscape and with people similar to humans, that is described in Star Trek brings my mind close to consider the current differences in various cultures of earth negligible.

I think the moment we, humans come across other similar intelligent life forms ( well, I am making an assumption that they exist now ) in other worlds physically, we may all unite or rather believe and represent ourselves as a single race - 'human' - not anymore - american - british - european - asian. How would that be like?
