This Perspective

When western tourists travel to African countries, at times they may face some poor naked African kids. Of course we know about their reflections, cameras and their sort of reactions.

The same thing happens when there is a huge bunch of kids and they see for the first time in their lives, a blonde western kid. It is heart breaking to look at these pictures, to realize how they have distanced mankind. I want one world.
