Imagine — If You Can
John Lennon wrote the song “Imagine” back in 1971. The opening lyrics were:
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
The following lines from the song are really relevant to me and my personal philosophy (in italics):
Imagine there’s no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Imagine no possessions
No need for greed or hunger
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
And the world will live as one

We humans are a troublesome and warlike race. In some regards, we are evolving forward, in others —evolving backwards. To illustrate, the following are some recent newspaper headlines:
