The pursuit of the perfect world

Columns1 min readUpdated 11/2016

The pursuit of the perfect world? Attempt the impossible and the possible becomes possible.

Strive for the maximum in order to achieve the minimum. A better world.

To do this, one has to proceed rationally. Rational: recognising what is essential and confining oneself to what is necessary.

People's hearts and minds must be reached with messages. With morally and rhetorically valuable messages. If one succeeds in uniting many people in their way of thinking, much has been achieved.

The media are ideally suited for this. Worldwide, if possible. The problem is that here, too, those in charge must first be convinced. And one has to come across someone in charge who has the imagination and the faith that the goal can actually be reached.

At first I supplied a tabloid newspaper with letters for months, after which it published articles on the topics I had raised. Later I published my free thoughts on global problems on the internet. Hundreds have since accessed them. But reaching more people requires rousing calls to recommend the site to others, and a great deal of patience.

I therefore keep striving to spread the site until one day it is known nationwide.

Nationwide? That requires the same patience it takes for a falling drop of water to hollow out a stone.

At least I have the knowledge, because I believe in it, that a national change of mind among people is possible.
All for one, one for all! Right, D´Artagnan?
