Mankind seems to be heading for bigger problems. More and more people are hungry as this New York Times article shows. There are hungry people in all countries, not just in the developing world. Man has never been able to plan for 50 years ahead. 50 years is too long a time for politicians seeking votes, but it is too much for the man in the street as well.

(2) Some people feel that "It was nice seeing you" is more immediate, vivid, emotional. If you meet a good friend whom you haven't seen for five years, you might end the conversation wth: "Wow! It was really great SEEING you! We have to get together soon." (3) On the other hand, if you meet someone whom you never really liked, you might end the talk with "Well, it was nice TO SEE you.
