Imagine all the people, living life in peace... Part 1

Inspired by the famous song, a colleague asked me to imagine a new world. At first I was amused by the suggestion, but then, when I started thinking more seriously about the subject, I realised that the more we pencil in the details of an ideal world, the closer we are to overcoming challenges.

So let us imagine together what new look we would like the world to have. For example, we always go to the hairdresser, beautician, and gym and maybe even to a plastic surgeon for them to help us create a new look. It can even cost us all our life savings so that we can finally hear someone say to us: “You look different!” What they wouldn’t realise is that, underneath it all, we are still the same.

I ask you: if a surgeon could work his magic on the world, what would we want it to look like? Do we want this world with a new look, or a new world with a new look?

Realistically, the world in which we live in is run by business tycoons, corporations, arms and drugs dealers, human traffickers and adult industry bosses. If we weigh their power and wealth against sectors such as agriculture, education, health, local economy, we realise the world is not as it should be. And this is happening in countries all around the world- it doesn’t matter if it’s East, West, North or South.

To be continued...
