   “The day is approaching when all the peoples of the world will have adopted one universal language and one common script. When this is achieved, to whatsoever city a [person] may journey, it shall be as if [they] were entering [their] own home. These things are obligatory and absolutely essential. It is incumbent upon every [person] of insight and understanding to strive to translate that which hath been written into reality and action.” from the Bahá’í Writings.

   I don’t think we’ll see it in our life time or maybe for a few generations. But it would make life easier!
