OpEdNews - Diary: I Have A Dream

A better world is possible, but you must dream a dream that includes everyone equally.

::::::::

I have a dream that one day the nations of the world will gather together and burn their flags and end the tortured logic of borders, artificial differences based on lines on a map, and blind loyalty to empty symbols and that everyone will see each other as humans and brothers first, last and always.

I have a dream that the my generation will teach the next generations the ways of love and peace and cooperation, rather than the ways of fear, war and competition.

I have a dream that abortion will be the law of the world, that every woman will have the right to control her own body, and that none will need to choose abortion because they will all look forward to a future of love and support from all the people that surround them.

I have a dream that elections will not be held but the wisdom of the lowest can be heard in the ears of the highest and that both will seek council with one another before forming an opinion or making a decision and that wisdom will rule the world and not men.

I have a dream that currency will be a commodity like air and be protected and kept clean for many generations to share. That the concept of poverty will be a foreign phenomena of the past and that wealth and joy be found in the basic necessities of all men and not just in the indulgence of a few.

I have a dream that the land will grow richer and more bountiful with the added labor of man rather than fatigued and poisoned through his industrious nature.

I have a dream that men will know themselves and each other as individuals and not as part of a pattern of established orthodoxy that creates false pride and fidelity to an unnecessary conflict.

I have a dream that all people will know the joy of the unseen.

I have a dream that children will no longer live in fear of their parents, or parents of their children, or neighbor of their neighbor, or anyone of a stranger.

I have a dream that one day all men will understand the concept of mercy, and that to give your life to protect that which you love is nothing, but to give your mercy to protect that which opposes you is everything.
