Some days i like to daydream.
Make up an ideal world.
Imagine how things could look like.
Like John Lennon did:
“Imagine there’s no heaven
I wonder if you can
Nothing to kill or die for
A brotherhood of man …”
Now let’s imagine:
Imagine
all the governments
of all countries of earth
would use the totality of their military budget
and put it into efforts to reverse the effects of climate change
instead of buying more
and more weapons
Imagine
the super smartest engineers
and scientists from around the world
would work together in co-operative teams to develop and build
and deploy non-exploitive and renewable energy sources
instead of using all this brain power to create new Apps that nobody really needs
and such monstrosities like Artificial Intelligence
that nobody will be able to control
anytime soon
Imagine
all those powerful corporations of the world
and the multinational businesses would decide to work for the good of all the people of earth
instead of for their own market dominance
and the financial gains of a few
Imagine
all the billionaires
and multi-millionaires of the world,
imagine they would donate the majority of their wealth into a global fund
that is used to tackle and solve the most pressing problems that haunt humanity nowadays,
to eliminate poverty, inequality, pollution, plastic, health threats, violence
and all other kinds of social ills
Imagine
organized religions would give up their hold on people’s mind
give up their bigotry and narrow mindedness, hierarchy & power
and their immense wealth and the whole pomp
and artificial ritual that has developed
since the days of the founders,
and simply allow or facilitate
that people can come together
to praise God in their own creative ways
Imagine
for just a minute
that a united humanity
could be the crown of creation
living in harmony with Earth and all its inhabitants
Imagine
God smiling
Maybe collective imagination could actually make all that possible.
What you think?
Wow! What a beautiful image! I would love to see that real! I only suspect, the idealists like us will always be a minority in the world that has always developed by means of creation just as much as distruction. However, it is not a reason to give it up. Let´s imagine!
I can see this world in my mind
