Why is the world in such a state?

Extract from Tommy Wong's book, "Wisdom on How to Live your Life"

Tom: Why the world is in such a state?
Guru: The world is like our home. It depends on the people living in it and what they do to it.
Tom: We certainly don’t look after our planet.
Guru: You can say that again.
Tom: We certainly don’t look after our planet.
Guru: Well said. If we don’t look after our home, it’ll be in a mess, right? So why are you surprised that the world is in such a state?
Tom: Because the world is supposed to be looked after by leaders who are clever and smart.
Guru: But what happens if they’re misguided?
Tom: You mean smart people can be misguided?
Guru: Smartness is a double-edge sword. It can heal or kill.
Tom: How can we heal the world?
Guru: By having the right concept.
Tom: What is the right concept?
Guru: We are souls and not bodies.
Tom: Guru Harry, this concept is not new. We’ve been told about this thousands of years ago. So why is the world still in such a mess?
Guru: Because many listen but few practice it.
Tom: You mean such a simple concept can help the world?
Guru: It can bring heaven to Earth.

Some airports require a person to remove the shoes and belt. This is not required in Singapore. So, we do have one less hassle in Changi.
