Every now and again I entertain a vision of a step that can lead to a perfect world for every one, all races, all genders all religions – for everyone.
Today I see in my mind’s eye how the gap between rich and poor narrows until everybody has enough money to enjoy a life to the full. Whatever that person individually decides he wants to do – he will be able to perfect it.
I see people respecting public property and the environment because it belongs to every body. Every one should be able to sit in a quiet corner in a park to meditate, feeling safe and without vagrants using it as a nest or to see bottles, condoms and cigarette buts lettering the place, They should be able to smell the fragrance of flowers and not the urine of the one who used it as a toilet last.
I see the money draining from people and organizations who use their riches purely for selfish purposes and it enters the hands of people who aim to make the world or their environments a better place, but then I realize that that is not the right vision because most poor people would use their income, no matter how much it is, on enhancing their personal lifestyle only because they have not yet developed within themselves the compassion to help other or they Have not yet realized that we are one humanity and what we do (or not do) in life has an impact on everyone.
So I need to alter my vision to include education for those who will be receiving the narrowing-gap money on how to utilize it to empower not only themselves, but also their families and environments.
We need to be careful how we visualize for our poverty relief visualizations may well be causing more poverty because if a nation is self centered, which may be our own nation, we may wish ourselves into poverty.
It is like the Christian praying forgive my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me. He may just as well be praying. Do not forgive my trespasses because I hate that bitch or something.
