historic election

on the eve of this historic election, i have some reflections.

it is historic because it is happening in a critical time of our nation. our nation is in an expensive war with critics from both sides of the political aisle and from different parts of the world. it is in an economic crisis that leaves many confused about our nations economic prospect. in addition to these current hot topics, our nation continues to struggle with disparity of many forms.

two presidential candidates offers promises of change. but change to what? for whom will such a change benefit? saying that any change would benefit everyone is naive. but they still have to try. they both claim that their visions will eventually benefit the greater american society. what about the world?

with more than 2 billion people living below abject poverty line of $2 a day, do we have a responsibility to lead the world in dealing with global disparity?

whatever the visions of change the candidates provide, i wonder if the issue at the heart of all is the issue of leadership - leadership for this country and leadership for the world.

who can inspire people, especially young people to serve this broken world? - to inspire young people to become selfless, to care more, to intelligently understand problems, and to solve problems with creativity.

"harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. therefore, ask the Lord of harvest to send out workers into the field..."

who will be able to lead. tomorrow, american people will select a leader from one of them. can that person truly lead and inspire? i can't wait to find out.
