Imagine

Imagine what could be done if all the money given to developing weapons for killing were to be given instead to education, sanitation, clean energy development and health care. If armies were turned to service organizations, just imagine what could be done. If all the money spent on cars and gasoline was given to the development of public transit in every community, think of how the general environment would benefit. 

Those who embrace the status quo hold back human evolution. Those who cannot imagine are doomed to live out their lives according to a dreary script, dictated by those who wish to exploit and control. Imagining the good helps to divert attention from the dysfunctional and deleterious. This is a way to prevent depression and develop the initiative to live constructively with inevitable change. 

The selfish and greedy cling to things as they are in an attempt to keep change from taking what they have. The generous embrace change as an opportunity for improvement of the general well being of all. This is the conflict which is going on in Washington, D.C. right now.
