M is for Millions of refugees finding a new lease on life by becoming farmers, water movers, support staff, engineers, teachers, doctors, builders.
Everything that new communities need to grow and succeed. All while improving the food supply's around the planet and solving the planet's problems of Global Warming and Climate Change. at very little cost and in a timely manner! The "Refugee Problem" that the whole planet is facing, is one of the more challenging aspects of living on a planet that places very low worth on the majority of mankind! Where you are born and who you are born to, it then the defining factor on what your potential is. I was very lucky in being born in Nebraska to white parents, neither of my parents had a college education but were hard-working middle-class farmer/railroad worker, housewife, raising 11 children (see how easy it is to define oneself in this society, without really knowing anyone or what they may be capable of!)? How far advanced could we be, if everyone's full potential was nurtured from birth? Many of us are end up being just a minor player even in our own lives.
I would love to know what questions are asked of people who end up in a refugee camp, on trying to come across the border between Mexico and America. Do we ask what their dreams are, what do they want for their children? Or simply their name, rank, and serial number "a rhetorical question of course"? So much of our potential is lost, war, famine, lack of education, governmental abuse, and corruption, and perhaps the greatest roadblock is poverty itself! Everyone on the planet, myself included is limited by self-doubt, and other's judgments. There is always a place for everyone on the planet that are willing to make our planet a better place, both for humanity and almost all carbon-based life (there are those pesky mosquitoes again).
My next post will be about Ascension Island, Green Mountain, and Charles Darwin and Mr. Hooker how over 150 years ago a dry desert island was transformed by mankind into something quite breath-taking!
