Could such a time
be possible? Could there come to be such
a world wherein all mankind only thinks about doing good things? Things that will only make everyone and
everything around them better?
Is it even
conceivable that such a time could come about?
I look at the world today, and although there are times when humans
consider the improvement of their own existence and that of others around them,
the major of humans are only concerned about “what’s in it for me!” and “why
should I be concerned about that?”
The sad thing is
that the world itself has become like a memorial tomb for a dead person! It may appear beautiful on the outside, but
inside there is a rotten corpse. Perhaps
you have seen photos that were taken from outer space of the globe upon which
we live. Although many areas today have
been defiled by our own polluting habits, in general, the world looks like a
beautiful blue marble suspended upon nothing in space!
But if some adventurer would continue to advance toward the Earth and actually land upon its
surface, they would find that the greed, arrogance, self-satisfying attitudes
of its inhabitants have made it an ugly place to visit! They would probably immediately return to
their space vessels and depart as quickly as possible.
Mankind once again
considers to venture into space and conquer the possibilities that may exist
there; however, they are completely unable to conquer their own limitations to
bring peace to their own planet. They cannot
control the raging spirit of rebellion within themselves.
But I can dream of
these better times and I can do what I can to change the person that I am so the
situations around me will be for the improvement of everyone. Your thoughts about me may fall under the lyrics
of the song “Imagine” by John Lennon when he wrote: “You may say I’m a
dreamer. But I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world
will be as one.”
But sadly, we’re
only human!
QUOTE TO CONSIDER
"There are no boundaries or limits
to your dreams."
