An idea is often just a thought or conception, supported by mental understanding or awareness. It can be an opinion, an innovation or just a fantasy.
When an idea is put to action, the outcome will decide if it is good, average or bad. A good idea is one that benefits the individual, the society and the world at large. Only in retrospect, one can evaluate the worth of an idea.
To most people, a wonderful idea is one that brings in success, wealth and fame. To others, a noble idea is one that helps to build a better community and takes care of the well-beings of all. Nevertheless, most ideas would fail when implemented. But they do serve as a strong reminder not to be repeated.
Ever since the dawn of human history, there have been far too many evil ideas, prompted by greed, jealousy and vengeance -- thus initiating conflicts and wars. The world needs more benevolent ideas to promote mutual respect, trust and tolerance.
The global economy seems to be getting messier. Does anyone have any bright idea to enlighten the mass of people to get out of the worsening shambles?
