If I could, I would end war and famine and hunger. Every child would have a loving home and every adult could work their dream job and we'd still be able to live in harmony with nature without illness or disease. I would also end the ignorance that destroys people.
I guess when I think about it, there are many people who wish for the same things. But I can't help but wonder how many actually truly feel the same way that I do. Because if enough of us in the word felt so strongly about ending our troubles, wouldn't we have the power to truly make the change? I think we could. But the trouble is human kind is naturally selfish and afraid. We're afraid of the consequences if we stood up for what we believe in, and if enough people would follow us. For some reason we have a fear of striking out on our own. A feeling I understand all too well.
I know I can't right all the wrongs of this world by myself. Nobody wants to listen to a single idea from a single person unless they have others to back them up. Its like that song "Just one Person" that was sung on the Muppet Show, The Peanuts and by Elmo. It goes it talks about if just one person believes in you, than others will believe too. And maybe if enough people believe in you, than maybe you can start to believe in you too.
Maybe if I felt that enough people believe in me, than maybe I could try to right all the wrongs...one wrong at a time of course :)
Maybe I wont be able to single handedly end war or famine or hunger. Maybe I wont be able to give every child a loving home or give every adult their dream job. I could try to clean up the world so we can live in harmony with nature. I know I could try to rid the ignorance that destroys people...young people. I think thats the thing I want to accomplish the most. Because when you rid the ignorance in people...the other problems with eventually disappear. Because it is in ignorance is where all thats wrong with the world really begins.
I believe we can do it...but I wont be able to do it alone.
