Fixing a Broken World

Why Learn from the past to fix the present

For the past year, I have been having these thoughts a lot:

• Why the world is the way it is?
• Why it still functions despite all the challenges of corruption, wars, income and racial inequality, nepotism, etc?

Yes, oftentimes things break and chaos ensues but eventually it too subsides, clarity takes over and peace prevails.

• How everyone just fits in their role?
• How does everything just works as part of this machine to make the whole world work?
