Use Your Imagination
Imagine that all the handsome neighborhood birds get chased away by a nasty animal that likes to raid bird nests after it gets dark, or imagine you’re a wild African elephant that has to wait in line for days in order to get something to eat, or imagine all world’s oceans refusing to make waves for the young lovers who like to hold hands when they saunter along the salt water beaches in the summertime when it’s time to relax.
Now think about the latest terrorist attack at a concert in the UK that killed innocent men, women, and children. And, think about all the wild animals like Polar Bears who won’t survive when global warming becomes the law of the land. How about changing patient protection in America so that poor people have an opportunity to suffer alone in the street while the wealthy are encouraged to be optimistic when they travel with their friends too far away lands.
Now imagine that you’re a cheerful old man who likes to eat dinner before it gets dark, or a smiling senior lady who likes to go outside for a walk with her dog, or a young or middle-age citizen who has legal authority to vote. Now use your imagination to figure out how we can band together to solve the world’s problems so we look good as an intelligent life form that figured out how to survive during challenging times.
