Did you really think the world has attained that civilization yet?
How civilized can we really be?
Most of the things we are experiencing now in this generation is almost unimaginable by those who came long years before us.
Have you ever imagined a world governed by just one person, no war (in fact, who do you want to fight against?), no terrorism, no nuclear bombs (to destroy who?), less attention on national security (we need to know how some countries invest millions into security, for what?), etc.
Imagine, no such thing as world powers e.g. USA and Russia seeing themselves the way Portugal and Spain do (security wise, and others).
Should we really feel fulfilled now by what we have achieved on a global scale in the world?
There are countries in the world today that is almost crime free.
Imagine that civilized world where we are not separated by countries or continent. Where corruption of a country can be investigated at the global level. Education up till tertiary institution is almost completely free with almost equal standard all over the world?
Things like top universities are not really relevant because basically, every university in all country you move too is almost equally competent or close.
Do you think these can be the pursuit of the next generations to come, maybe in the next 300, 400 years?
We believe it is a global world today, but are we really global yet?
What do you think can hold us back (Is it religion, etc...)
Is it even necessary trying or worth trying to attain that level?
Sometimes, I just imagine a country like Nigeria having gigantic weapons like nuclear bombs. To fight who? To protect against who? Why do some of the civilized countries with all the knowledge, experience and all that still believe that is the way to go.
If a country like Russia, USA, China,... decides to drop all nuclear bombs, terrorists minding their own business, etc... will that not be a further step towards that civilization?
Please, I would like to know if I am making any sense at all.
Thanks as you contribute.

this is just how God want the world be as we come closer to the end time because all what we are seeing happening in the world today are all writen in the bible.
if u are christian, u will understand what am taking about. so just relax ur mind and expect the worste to come.
