Perfect World

My Perfect World

Imagine if all corporate stuff was gone.

Really. Imagine it.

No conceited men in suits blabbering in jargon. Everyone living freely. There would still be work, but there wouldn't be a hierarchy. Nobody would think they were better than everyone else. People would still work for money, but everyone in every job would work because they cared, mainly. Nobody would be on minimum wage. Wouldn't that be beautiful? 

Imagine if everyone played.

Even adults.

Especially adults.

Everyone would swing on swings and go higher and higher and higher and higher. They would use the time to think about real things. Things that matter. Things that are beautiful.

Imagine if everyone noticed things that were beautiful.

They'd take time to notice a petal or a raindrop. They would stop thinking about how important they were and just feel the world beat with them. Everyone would stop to look at something pretty in the sky. Sunsets. Sunrises. Rain. Stars. Even somebody's eyes. 

Imagine if stereotypes vanished, along with gender roles.

Imagine if transgender people were fully accepted. Imagine them being able to go into the right bathrooms.

Imagine if everyone would realize that some people were gay, and got over it.

Imagine if we didn't have to pack ourselves in these boxes all the time. Sometimes boxes can be useful, but they can also hurt.

Imagine if nobody was perverted, and kids were innocent longer.

Imagine if there was a potion and we called it innocence and we could take a sip whenever we needed to escape and be free.

Imagine if cherries were available for the whole summer instead of just some of the summer. Yeah, I know that if cherries were year-round, they wouldn't be special! But is a little extension too much to ask?

Imagine if people didn't always understand, but they always tried.

Imagine if 'alt-right' was not a thing.

Imagine if everyone realized, 'Hey! This is a global world! There are people who are different to me, and have different colors, cultures etc. That's pretty neat!"

Imagine if we could all just be real. This includes the ban of Real Housewives and the ban of Hallmark cards. Also the ban of fake emotions and celebrities. Also the ban of those stupid fake voices people use when they want to sound all nice and polite and professional and trustworthy.

Imagine if everyone in the world drank whatever hot drink they like at the same time once a year. Even though it probably wouldn't last an hour, it would be called The Cuddly Warm Drink Hour. And if everyone could have a friend for the hour that lived across the world and they'd Skype or write mail about the warm drink they drank.

Imagine if life was always meaningful.

Imagine if everyone got help when they needed it. They could always talk to someone who would listen with open ears and open arms, that would be able to help. And that person understood. Because it's nice when people try to. But sometimes you need someone who actually does understand. Sometimes you just need that. 

Sometimes that's all you need.

Imagine if education was about learning how to do beautiful things, instead of about making lots of money and being the very, very best.

Imagine how much less stressful that would be.

Imagine if Catcher In The Rye was NEVER BANNED AT SCHOOLS AGAIN.

Seriously. That would be great.

Imagine a female president.

Imagine a GAY president!

Imagine if, here in NZ, someone from the Green Party won this year's election! Not gonna happen, because they're a secondary party. But this is my perfect world, okay?!?!

Imagine if everyone loved giving hugs.

Imagine if nobody was a sexual object. EVER. AGAIN. And instead, when someone liked someone else, they'd always find tiny little beautiful things about them. Tiny little habits that make up an awesome human being.

Imagine if alcohol was not given to people who wanted to use it to impress girls, or people who wanted to get super wasted to be cool.

Imagine if nobody exploited anybody.

Imagine if everyone wrote some kind of poetry.

Finally, imagine how beautiful this world would be if people Just. Freaking. Listened.

That's my perfect world.
