This is my dream

[Martin Eden]

11. That's a wonderful dream, to which I would add

Another awakening in which more people come to realize the existential necessity of taking better care of the precious lifeboat known as planet Earth.

The best economic experts would focus on long term sustainability in addressing climate change, finite resources, and ecosystems including our oceans.

Societal and personal values would shift more towards the qualities of life which make it worth living, and away from the wasteful consumerism of material possessions quickly discarded for the next shiny toy.

A renewed embrace of life would include the marvelous plants and animals in their natural environments which make planet Earth an even more precious gem to treasure and preserve.

If we truly love our children this legacy will be among our highest priorities along with giving all children the opportunity to realize their full potential, not just as successful cogs in an economic machine but as well rounded human beings with critical thinking skills and values to carry human civilization into a more enlightened future.

Let's make our best dreams come true.
