Love...?

I was assigned by my office to join a training in a country that i never visited before. It is a three weeks training and today is one of the last days. It is being conducted in a city in North Carolina, USA, named Raleigh. The participants came from 6 different countries: Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Serbia, South Africa and Egypt. The trainers were American, but some of them came from Costa Rica, Polandia and Brazil.

I have several experiences of this type where i met different people from different countries from different parts of the world. And in this type of occasion, there is one thing that always come out my mind, which is that we are all simply .......... the same. We have the same need, the same desire, the same fear, and a lot of things that we have in common, and, i believe that there is no problem that we can not solve as long as we work together.

This reminds me of one song, which was made popular by one of my favourite singer, Celine Dion, titled Let's Talk About Love.

Everywhere I go, all the places that I've  Been
Every smile is a new horizon on a land I've never seen
There are people around the world
Different faces, different names
But there's one true emotion that reminds me we're the same
Let's talk about love

From the laughter of a child, to the tears of a grown man
There's a thread that runs right through us all and helps us understand
As subtle as a breeze, that fans a flicker to a flame
From the very first sweet melody, to the very last refrain

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about us
Let's talk about life
Let's talk about trust
Let's talk about love

It's the king of all who live and the queen of good hearts
It's the ace you may keep up your sleeve, till the name is all but lost
As deep as any sea, with the rage of any storm
But as gentle as a falling leaf on any autumn morn

Let's talk about love, it's all we're needin'
Let's talk about us, it's the air we're breathin'
Let's talk about life, I wanna know you
Let's talk about trust and I wanna show you
Let's talk about love

I remember an opinion that saying that the ability to send a man to the moon is not human progress, but progress is when all human love each other more.
