hmmm...tough question!
Here's my answer at this point in my life:
I imagine a world where there is much grace and mercy, much patience and kindness, and much truth and sincerity. A world where the peacemakers were blessed. A world of acceptance. A world without drugs, alcohol, and things that distract people from their true potential. A world with enough sympathy to truly help the poor and needy. A world that was not all about money. A world of understanding. A world of safety and comfort. I imagine a world where everyone felt God's holy presence, and, most importantly, felt LOVED.
i imagine a world... where food is distributed evenly...where everyone feels loved a whole lot, and has at least one person to remind them of how loved and appreciated they are every day...where people don't do good things because they feel obligated to , but because they want to...where everyone can listen to music, and dance and feel happy anytime they want to...where it rains once a week, to refresh and bring peace to the world...where money doesn't control status, or opportunity...where all can feel free to say or think what they want, without being judged, or worse, persecuted...where kids can just be kids...where winning isn't everything, and losing doesn't matter, because you had fun playing the game, and being a part of something that is bigger than you alone...where everyone has someone to talk to and get good advice from ...where there are imperfections, but they don't matter, because everyone is too busy looking at the positive side, and making the most of every moment.

This world is possible.
