I dream of a day


I dream of a day, a day when people awake each day to come to the aid of another; when we work for the good of each other and our needs are met through a society of altruism, love of all life, human liberty and the pursuit of happiness for mankind. A day when what defines success is measured in terms of deed rather than greed.

On this horizon is a life where we are slaves to this society and this culture no more. We will reshape them in a way that there will be no disadvantaged; no disenfranchised. Greed and treachery will not be rewarded, but shamed to the point where they will never darken our lives again.

Violence, greed, inconsideration, slothfulness, deceit and hate not only eliminated, but impossible.

We will cultivate patience, understanding, tolerance, respect, generosity, knowledge, confidence, health and strength. A culture will blossom where the sick are cared for and healed happily by those able; the weak are carried; the lost are guided; and where differences are cherished and used for the good of all.

Each generation will grow stronger from the harvest of our labors. Each LIFE cycle will yield stronger stock ensuring that the dreams remain alive.

Economies will not be measured in monetary but in humane terms. Leaders will be selected based on character rather than image and avarice. News will uplift, not by spin, but in the truth of a renewed human spirit.

Each individual will rest nightly feeling loved, needed, and useful with a purpose for the next day, next year, and the remainder of life.

Can you see it? Do you dream of it too? Is this your vision? Can you believe it? How can we make it happen?

You must believe it. If it is your vision, you must believe in it. Be life entrepreneurs. Redefine “human nature” to “humane nature”.
