On achieving the common good.

One thing. Living in Italy has taught me. That we are all in this world together. Italians. Americans. Everyone. Italians are just as important as Americans. And Americans just as important as Italians. The entire world has to start thinking of itself as one. We’re a collective. We have to work and pull together. Helping each other. Making for a better world. Not just for a better Italy.  Or a better America. A better planet Earth, too. Global warming. It’s a world issue. Unemployment. The wide gap between the rich and the poor. Crime. Education. Health care. Pollution. Maybe 100 issues with a worldwide scope. We’ve gotta deal with ‘em all. Together. No one nation can go it alone. Maybe we need a unifying world government. Certainly, we need cooperation.  In order to achieve the common good.  –Jim Broede
