Kaleidoscope View of a Mad, Mad, World

Take one look at the world in which we live. It is an ever-shrinking planet made so by the vast means of communications connecting one continent to another. It exposes people of all countries to new ideas and to varied ways of living, most of which are wonderful in the Western Hemisphere. Yet, the world does not easily accept new ideas nor does it take to changes, especially in lifestyles. Why? Because of jealousy and the impending hatred that grows out of the envy fostered by the view of a world where capitalism is predominant. In actuality, where the world seems to many to be the best it can be, appearances can be deceiving. The countries that form this earth are no more homogeneous than the jagged bits and parts that fill the boxin a five-hundred piece puzzle. Instead, the world is better reflected when one looks beyond the mirrors that contain the colored shards, which become the basis for a kaleidoscope. When one looks through the eyepiece, one sees a perfect design, equal in dimension and shape to every side. This is the way many people see the world. However, although the pattern is pleasing to the eye, the truth is that the authentic world is more akin to the broken glass that produces the symmetrical effect. A Kaleidoscope View of a Mad, Mad World makes everything look well-balanced when one glances through that eyepiece. Upon further investigation, it is shown to be a disturbing jumble reflecting the corrupt governments that have existed for millennia. Those governments promote wars, lie to the masses, and are consumed with the greed that they vehemently oppose publicly. Take a walk through history with A Kaleidoscope View of a Mad, Mad World and see for yourself how the world has yet to change.
