As unlikely and near impossible as it would be to make this happen
How much peace would this world know
If every human when they turned 18-ish
Traveled outside of their known world
To cultures and places they’ve never experienced.
I think we could all benefit from
Experiencing different
Learning different
Appreciating different.
And knowing fondly how others live
When we return home.
Just a thought.
Wouldn’t it be amazing?

Oh Colleen you are so right. But do you know, in here, on WP we “meet” all different kinds of cultures, and from them I have learnt so much. Many of them are now my firm friends. This is an amazing place!

I think many of us see the world here on WP Lorraine. 🙂 If we can’t travel by air, land or sea we will travel by words.
I’ll use that for a blog!!

Great thought. It seems that the more we venture out to differing geographies the more we see what we really have in common. Taking the mystery out that creates division and judgment by seeing commonalities would be wonderful. ❤️

It would be amazing. I have often said if everyone in the world blogged we would never see war again. Get to know and understand different cultures is one of the best ways to break down these barriers.

I think you’re right TLAB. I have been so lucky here on WP to ‘meet’ people from around the world and learn about them. I find it exhilarating !

I think it would lead to much more understanding and tolerance. But, as your first comment notes, blogging is a great way to “travel” when you can’t manage a trip!

I think those of us who already travel in this manner are proof positive that it helps.

this would help a lot, a great idea! It is not always nice to be a stranger somewhere, but you learn at least how you never want to treat others…; )

Just to share a meal, a day at work, and toilet and laundry duties with other cultures would be a worthy aim for all.

It would be amazing. It would be a great lesson for those more fortunate. It would be a more difficult lesson for those less fortunate who then have to return home.

Or change where home is, or change how they feel about home because of what they saw, or yes, be difficult to return home. But hopefully, even at that, they would feel good about the experience. Maybe ???
