Visions of a Better World
All Great Achievements and Changes A United Nations Peace Messenger Publication
Visions of a Better World is a gift to the world from the people of the world.
People for whom the world need not always be as it is, and who believe that
each one of us can do something to make the world a better place
Image a vision of the world that carries the authority of the voice of the
people from the East, the West, the North and the South . . . A vision born
from the ideas and inspirations of men, women, and children who dare to dream
and have the courage to live by their commitment to that dream . . .
A the beginning of the new Millennium, the global community faces a barrage
of crucial questions. Many of these are critical not just to the quality
of life, but to the very existence of life on earth. They demand a new
and positive paradigm. Drawn from the pure core of goodwill that is the
bedrock of the human spirit, Visions of a Better World paints a picture
of tomorrow that people the world over long for.
Casting aside for a while the doubts, concerns and fears that often cloud
our picture of tomorrow, Visions of a Better World offers refreshingly
positive images of the future. The things we don’t like in the world
are clearly visible but what is it we do want to se? Food relief?
Better social or economic conditions? A value-based education?
And what can we do to make it happen? You’ll find it all here, in
the voices of the famous and the not-so-famous, of the thousands of individuals
in nearly 130 countries around the world who contributed to this effort
for a positive change.
Whether you consider yourself a humanist. Philanthropist, theist, socialist
or just someone who’s fed up with yet another day’s bad news, this unique
book strikes a chord common to the hearts of all humanity. A humanity
that values beauty more than exploitation, love more than selfish acquisition,
and that cherishes a world where children have the opportunity to grow and prosper
