After I retired, I started writing articles online, and I was amazed at how many new friends around the planet I had garnered in the first year. Now that I've been doing this for about seven years with thousands of articles, I am literally blown away by the number of people I know in countries around the world. Every time I read something in the news such as a natural disaster, I can simply e-mail a friend and ask them how things are going there. And I get the real information, not the garbage we get in the news media. Okay so let's talk about this for second shall we?
I believe the global Internet system has now brought the human race closer together, and it will prevent wars in the future, and help everyone understand each other's religions, culture, and way of life. It's amazing that people around the planet have the same fears, desires, and needs. Sometimes you wouldn't assume this by reading the newspaper or watching the news. It is nice to know the reality, and not be beholden to merely allow the forced fed media reports to jade your opinions.
Indeed, I've talked to people from New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific islanders, and people from China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and just about every other nation in that region. I talked with people from the Middle East, from Africa, and of course all through Europe. I've spoken with people from Central America and South America, and even our neighbors Canada and Mexico. I've sent e-mails to people in Russia, and even someone working on a project at the South Pole, I suppose via satellite.
How did all this transpire you ask? Well, people read articles I write, and then they contact me by e-mail. People are listening, people are talking, and people are communicating around the world. Yes, they do this on social networks, but if you will share your experiences, your dreams, and your fears in online articles, the world will respond from all corners, you will be blown away. Now then, even though I've never met any of these folks, or perhaps I never will, they have still shared with me their life experience, and added to the richness of my own.
Next time you write an online article, consider how it might open the door to a new friend somewhere around the planet, and help you to more understanding, or a new culture. You'll be glad you wrote that article, and they'll be glad to have read it. Please consider all this and think on it.
