Projecting hope for a world in turmoilToday, the world is witnessing the most explosive situation since World War II, all too visible in conflicts such as the Iran war. "The world is upside down," a key UN official said recently. First, there has been an amplification of warfare, witnessed by over 100 wars currently, both internal and international. Second, the post-World War II system has been overturned by upheaval, where previously dependable superpowers have become more capricious. That is, humbly, the trajectory of hope despite all the travails of the world.
