Can there be a second Gandhi

Desperate times need desperate efforts. I wonder where this world is moving. Global warming, drought, epidemic, ethnic divide, terrorism, poverty, crime, intolerance..the list is endless. Can there be a single solution to all these problem. Can there be harmony in this world. Can we overpower our motivation to achieve everything for ourselves and nothing for others. Can there be a measure of success on the basis of what others have gained form you and not what you have achieved for yourself. Can there be an end to the cycle of favor and obligation. Can we think beyond ourselves!!

I think the world needs to answer these questions...no sooner than later. In a fast moving world with such an acquisitive mindset, we all are set to be doomed. We need to think beyond our lives. Was there an obligation on our predecessors to leave this world as it is today. Are they answerable to us to the extent to  which they have attenuated this world. Sadly we can't find these answers from them. They have done there bit and gone.
But we may not get the time to save our face. This world has deteriorated to such an extent that we need to seek these answers now...save this world for our immediate generation. And we need a second Gandhi who could lead us...I would like to end by quoting Gandhi..

"The world has enough for everybody's need but not enough for anybody's greed?"..Gandhi.
