A Life of Wonder and Vision

Thursday, April 13th. 2017

Today was poorly planned and so I didn’t get much accomplished. I spent almost half of my day commuting. Still, I had a revelation. A shift in perspective. 

As I was sitting on the bus for the 3rd hour in the day already, I noticed something peculiar in the bus. Everything. Every bolt, every cable, every sticker, every window, every piece of metal. This machine was the result of the work of hundreds of individuals, all of them with a single goal in mind. Building parts of a greater machine that will eventually be pieced together to create a transportation system for humans. 

At the same time, as I looked outside of the bus’ window I wondered in nature’s beauty. One of the differences between us and nature is nature’s capability to create perfect systems where the concept of waste does not exist. 

There lies my vision. A world where humans coexist with nature in a symbiotic way. No system harming the other. Humans celebrating each other's diversity and working together towards a single goal. Improving the infrastructure for human conditions to thrive.
