Introduction [The original title of this article was "Why this page?". Please read notes below.]
Potential of the Internet. The internet can do as much good for mankind as the printing press has done in advancing access to information. Already, the internet has made this world "smaller"; making it possible to have a truly global community in the future.
We should never forget however that the internet is a mere technology (medium); whether we realize its potentials will depend on how we put it into use.

[The letter, "One World", was written in response to one of the members of Flickr group (Museum Online). The dream that is "One World" however was one of my dreams all the way back when the internet was not even conceived. The seminal concepts for "One World" as an internet site is integral of a more comprehensive website: "Treasures of the Internet".] Ray,
Yes, I know. I did visit your page several times already, and hope to see more in the future.
That is one of my dreams actually, to create a website called "One World". I believe personally that we can only see the dreams and longings of peoples of the world when we see them through their perspective, not through the eyes of other people (tourists, journalists, arm-chair experts, etc.)
What we will find is that each one of us are no different from each other — that we share similar dreams and longings, linked together with the eternal search of "the good, noble, beautiful and true".
Once we see that, we will have less fear of other peoples of the world — it is only then that there can be healing and ultimately peace. |

[A personal letter sent to Ayeona Langfia, one of the Filipinos met through Flickr.] 16 July 2005 Langfia Ayeona
Mountain Province
Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR), Philippines Dear Ayeona, I visited your photographs in flickr.com and in your other website several times already. What made your photos even more appealing to me were the words that came with the pictures. They stopped being just a set of pictures to admire, but a poignant story of a people in a community. Most people in the world will never ever have a chance to visit your place but through your photos and words those who are sensitive at heart cannot help but be moved. A spiritual kinship develops. Even if it were only in the mind, the common bond that ties is the day-to-day struggle of mankind. What only changes are the colors of the skin, the places and the time. Underneath it all is man's quest, his eternal search for "the good, noble, beautiful and true". As a Filipino therefore, it is the perspective that you conveyed quite well — through photos and words — that I wish other peoples of the world come to know us. |
