I See Trees Of (Pink and) Green

Of course we need a theme song for the post!!


So what is my wonderfully perfect world...? That's actually a really hard question! Even if I could live in my perfect world, I think I would only want to make it a vacation spot. Perfection would only make my personal flaws crystal clear. But enough dancing around the subject

My perfect world (in which I would only be able to vacation) would of course have amazing food... this shows how fat I am because that's the only thought that came to my head :-( Well the people wouldn't have hate in their hearts. Of course there would be disagreements because a world without disagreement is just annoying, but there would be no hate. Hatred is just a festering wound that is there for no reason, and it never makes anything better, it only decays its host ending in a slow, painful and lonely death. I hate it when people say they hate someone even when they don't mean it. Most of the time people don't even know what it really means to hate someone. I always ask 'why?' whenever somebody says 'I hate so and so'. And then they come back with this petty reason, so I ask them if that's a good enough reason to hate somebody. Then of course the back pedaling starts with the 'well you know what I mean!' So no hatred, only reasonably justified dislike and disagreement.

Money would not exist in my perfect world. Money is... basically... the root of all evil. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the world collectively said money no longer has a value? OHHHH EMMM GEEEE!!!!! Money is just an inanimate object that some guys decided to give a value so that a growing community didn't have to keep track of the rules of reciprocity. I mean look at what it does when it is forced upon populations that have never had a use for money. What happened to the !Kung, or the Inuit tribes? Ugghhh, I get angry in class when I learn about what's really going on.. but that's for another conversation. Ask my about it if you're interested.

My perfect world would give opportunity to those that wanted it. If you want to learn about anything, you can. And you can learn from the best teachers around. People will be inspired to share their knowledge. Maybe it would mirror the philosophical times of Aristotle, Socrates and Plato.

You want to see pollution free nature? Boom, look left, right, up, down, everywhere. My perfect world wouldn't be destroyed by industrial greed.

Kids would be able to be kids, instead of chubby, marshmallowy extensions of electronic machines. They can actually go outside and play with other kids building social skills that you can use later on in life--the ones that teach you how to actually interact with people. When's the last time you saw kids just go outside and start up a game of tag, or 4 square, or red rover? And I'm not talking about when we relive our childhoods and play these games, but actual kids. Honestly, kids these days don't know how to play... They don't know how to just go up to a bunch of random kids and run around until the street lights come on.

Hm thinking about it, I think my perfect world would be collective points in the past. Simpler times when mass destruction was an act of nature, when entertainment was social, when asthma was rare (lol), when trees, plants, and flowers were lush, when animals existed, when you could drink from streams instead of only see their picture on a bottle filled with factory water, when people were just people instead of rich, poor, black, white, red, brown, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, good, bad, slores, prudes, GDIs, Greeks, interests, high class, low class, no class... the list goes on.

My sorority in a sense, doesn't fit into this world. However, it should be the driving force that brings these two worlds closer together. Why should my sorority judge everybody else? Why should my sorority let our planet turn into a garbage can? Why should my sorority allow people to be isolated? Why should my sorority allow kids to forget how to play tag? Why should my sorority not appreciate nature? Why should my sorority deny opportunity to learn? You want to know the truth?? My sorority doesn't. We work to better the relationships between women as well as the rest of the population. We constantly hold park and city clean ups. We go out and play with kids on some of our community services. We offer scholarships for those who are smart enough to apply.

In closing... let's see where our past has taken us
