My Wish For The World
Today was a big day. Inauguration 2017 of our 45th President of the United States.
Now I only come to write on this blog when something hits hard for me and I feel the need to get some things off my chest. Today, I decided to write down what a perfect world looks like to me. Social media was flooded (and still is) with posts of peoples’ disapproval or approval of our new president. So instead of adding to the chaos and political debates about our new president, I watched one of the greatest moments in TV history (Will McAvoy on HBO’s The Newsroom Opening Scene) again and it led me here. To tell all of you the way that I, someday, hope the world looks like.
I wish for all human rights for each and every individual human on this earth despite ethnicity, gender or age. I wish for abusers of people and animals to be punished accordingly. I wish for a variety of options for mothers-to-be while not damaging the potential future of both the mother and baby. I wish for health care to be affordable for anyone who may find themselves in need of a doctor or hospital. I wish for mental health to be taken more seriously. I wish for better education for our youth and better resources for our individuals shaping those young minds. I wish for employment to not be a burden but a passion lived out not only to make a living, but to make a life. I wish for the housing market to become affordable for all classes of people. I wish for resources for those humans who end up on the streets because of the difficulties our world has given them to face. I wish for little babies to come into a world of positivity and love, not hate and wars. I wish for the cruelty of all animals for the sake of an industry to become non-existent. I wish for more funding to ACTUAL research of our deadliest diseases to find the best cures. I wish for all humans to have challenging conversations with their peers, children, spouses and other citizens about their thoughts and opinions to continue evolving our world. I wish for travel to become a requirement in schools to teach people about other cultures. I wish for special needs individuals to live in a world of acceptance and light. I wish for fathers to teach their sons how to properly treat women and understand femininity. I wish for mothers to teach their daughters to respect men and understand masculinity. I wish for women to have equal opportunities as men. I wish for the better protection of our citizens from harmful weapons and individuals with hate in their hearts. I wish for people to stop identifying with a political party but with their thoughts on what they want out of this world. I wish for individuals to become more self-aware and independent, ready to chase their dreams.
But most importantly…
I wish for a world of love and knowledge of the human race so that we no longer have racism, sexism, ageism and any other -isms, but a world of peace and truly… actually… make America the greatest country in the world.
