It was beautiful. You had to be there. A dictator in North Korea reversed his course and let his people be free. He then ended hostilities with the people of the south, and an era of peace began as Korea became one.
The Palestinians and the Israelis sat down at the table together and ended all hostilities. Palestine recognized Israel, and Israel recognized Palestine. Both countries would be respected by the other, and a new era of peace began.
The people of Africa were no longer oppressed. An era of peace in which all of the Africans were fed and sheltered began. The spread of disease was reversed, and an industrial age began in the continent.
The banking system as we had known it ceased to be. The hold the bankers held over the world was at an end. This was important, for without it, the peace never stood a chance. The era of smart and fair currency began.
Radical religion ended. The factions of Christianity that gave the very religion a bad name came to their senses and backed off. The radical Muslims did an about face and realized that Allah would not be pleased with their actions. Atheists realized they didn't know any more than the other side did, and stopped their practice of mocking Christianity.
The poor and hungry on the streets all over the world were given food and shelter and helped to become self sufficient. Factories long since closed in the name of progress were reopened. People were building things in America again and that meant more jobs.
It was an era of peace unseen in the world. Living life to love and be happy. Respect for people's differences. People didn't always agree, but they respected one another and didn't try to impose their will on each other. It was a beautiful dream. Too bad I woke up. Maybe one day such a world will be possible. Then, we can reach for the stars together, united as one people.
