What if...

What if we really love, love each other with no expectations? What if we care for each other, but for real, with no interests save true compassion? What if we enjoy life, as it is, nature, animals, and people? What if we protect our environment, our animals (meaning all of them), our families and our land but in the most sympathetic way? What if we realize once and for all that any political party, any political movement is totally useless unless we, the people, work and serve others? What if little by little, we free ourselves of religious slavery and ties, and embrace the true spirituality, the true love for our spiritual endeavor? What if we stop believing blindly in pastors, priests, monks, and start being skeptics in the most objective way and become our own spiritual leaders? What if we read more books, crave for knowledge, apply it and build things and circumstances instead of destroy them? What if we become truly free? And what if we finally understand that we have the control of our own lives? What if we begin to feel committed to dignity and respect for each other? And what if we start enjoying the simple pleasures of life? What if we live our lives minute by minute, enjoying every second at its fullest, as if it’s the last of our lives? Is it too much to ask, becoming better human beings only respecting and loving each other? I know, it sounds like the perfect world; but is it the ability to dream one of our long forgotten virtues and this one may be one of them, maybe the most important? Eventually, everything will fall into place; at least, that’s my hope. However, I don’t think it will fall by itself, I think we need to work and do it hard toward that goal. What if everything I’ve just said and even more becomes reality? Is it too much to ask or to dream? At least, if we keep asking for a change, there is going to be hope, and hope is, bluntly, all we have… so far.
