I was thinking about the “what if” questions we often ask ourselves. Usually it relates to things that would probably never happen like winning the lottery, never growing old, being a celebrity, etc. I was actually thinking about how our world might be different if we followed through on some “what if” questions. Some of these questions might be:
- What if wealth was a measure of how much you give rather than how much you receive or have?
- What if corporations served the best interest of the people rather than the people serving the best interest of the corporation?
- What if our country chooses to return violence with love and compassion?
- What if we all choose to do what’s right instead of “being right?”
- What if we spend money on medical research instead of weapons research?
- What if we choose to “bailout” the poor instead of the rich?
- What if we all stopped using love like a commodity?
- What if we all treat others like we would want them to treat us?
- What if we all lived within our means?
- What if we all stopped shopping and started sharing?
- What if….
Obviously this list could go on and on, but just think how different our world would be if we actually followed through on these types of questions.
