Having a global outlook

I was just reflecting about being a Singaporean these days. I suddenly realise, but kinda knew all along, that most students are very inward-looking; they worry about their dressing, results, weight, height, money etc. It's Materialism to the point that it's sickening.

I confess that a lot of times, I'm like that. There are a thousand and one things I could say about myself and out there, there are 24 thousand people dying everyday because they are unable to attain life-sustaining food. I shop and consume, that at the expense of someone poor out there, I destroy his habitat and culture. Yes, I'm guilty and you probably are too.
