People dealing with each other simply as people.

If we can only get our various leaders to let all of us do that.

That really is wonderful to see. Thank you for posting this.

If only people would realize we are really all more alike than we are different.

I have a good friend in Iran. I want our countries to be friends again. And not on the CIA's terms like last time. That didn't end well...

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
JOHN LENNON - IMAGINE LYRICS
