Redundancy, Complacency, Hypocrisy

So what if, and I mean just use your imagination to the best of your ability to picture it, but what if the world was full of people who felt like doing the right thing was more pleasurable than getting what was originally wanted? What if people stuck their neck out or sacrificed to help someone else out instead of trying to be first? Would small problems still exist? I think that they would work themselves out. Most problems people have are monetarily related. Something they have breaks and they need to fix it. Something they "need" is too expensive so they save up for it. We live in a society where having more possessions is supposed to bring happiness. What if we lived in a society where doing what is right brought more joy? Wouldn't big problems start to work themselves out, too?

Now imagine, and I mean really stretch your mind to picture this, but imagine a world where people didn't judge one another. Would the inherently good in all people come out? I mean a lot of problems come from external pressures. Judgmental pressures. Sometimes social pressure, sometimes parental pressures, but all people are pressured into doing something or being something that they don't necessarily feel they should do or be. They just do it because they are told to. They do it because it is normal. They think that it is the right thing to do.
It's weird that in American society people take so many anti depression medications amongst other things. Divorce rate is above fifty percent. People are always in a rush. Always wanting more. What about life? What about friends? Is that not enough? Family? Not enough?
Here the true test of your imagination. Imagine a world where people actually loved, and I mean love with no bounds, but imagine a world where people actually loved their neighbor as them self. Where people loved every other human being as them self. It's weird that I have to ask you to imagine it, because it is the number one law of three of the world's largest religions: Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Would there be problems, though? How could there be? If you knew that everyone you came across had your back, whether they were black or white, pierced or tattooed, short or tall, would there be any problems? The answer is no. In fact, we would not even need government. Things would work out the way that they were intended to be. If you see me in the street, I will smile at you. If you say high to me, I will ask you how you are doing. Not to be polite, but because I care. I will hold a door open for you. I will pick up the id or credit card you dropped and return it to you. I will not judge you. I am here to love everyone that I come across. I am here to inspire hope in people. Hope of love. Hope of a better world. This is how I intend on living my life. Loving. Wholeheartedly loving to the absolute best of my abilities. It is the only way that the world's problems can work out. I'm not saying that I can work out the world's problems, but I hope to inspire at least one other person to live a life of love. The more love, real love, that we have in this world the better.

  1. There are some immediate obstacles to living a life of love: the first is our ego. We all have to be right. But for a change, why not let ourselves be wrong? Another obstacle is trust. No one believes anyone's motives, assertions, or actions being devoid of self-interest. That's what Jesus was up against. That's what we are up against.
