"In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true."
-Bhudda
MEDCs... LEDCs... More Economically Developed Countries... Less Economically developed countries... More or less than what? There is no average anymore. We don't even count those countries like China, who are on the verge of becoming MEDCs as AEDCs. Average Economically Developed Country is not even a term in human knowledge. We still call the AEDCs LEDCs because we refuse to admit that other places may be as good as us. Humans have to turn everything into a case of Us and Them. Why can't there be a middle? Why can't it just be Everyone, with a few common thoughts not shared by all?

If you look inside yourself too much, you don't see what's happening with others and can't protect yourself. If you look outside yourself too much, you forget yourself and can't keep control of your actions. Some people don't even look. I have seen all of those. Balance is best. But balance is like standing barefoot on a needle. Sometimes I'm so down-to-Earth, I can't even see the sky.
