Self World, World Self : A Five Point Thought Provoking Comparison

Imagine for a second that you, as a person, are analagous to a world.

The Self World:

1. Your world has an economy, is it prosperous? What is it’s long term outlook? Is it paying off its debts on time?




2. Your world has a culture, is it vibrant? What new areas are being explored? What things make it different, and interesting?




3. Your world has an environment, is it growing, stagnating, or worse? How well is it being sustained? How long can it survive on this course?




4. Your world has different countries (interests), are they at odds with each other? Is there a struggling country? Which country is the best at what it does?




5. Your world has room to improve. What do you need to do to make it prosperous in all areas? Evolve — some things in each area must die and others need to grow, but with enough trial and effort, your world can achieve a net gain.

There is a flip side to all of this.

The World Self:

If the world were a person, how healthy and prosperous would it be in all of the above areas?

This is a scary thought at first, but I choose to remain optimistic =]
