I watched a music video today by Martina McBride and was really moved. She was singing her song, one I've come to like, "Where would you be"?
In the video she was on the streets of New York with a over sized sketchpad, telling people she's doing a documentary and asking them "What do you wish for"? Some people were taken aback by the question, I guess it is not one they are asked often, much less to share publicly.
What I noticed was that about 90 percent of the people wish for changes in our world, and not make a personal wish for themselves. I thought that was such a selfless and meaningful act!
It showed how many people are concerned with the world they live in and the legacy we will leave for our children. We all care about our world and what our environment will be like in the future. We all want world peace. We all want everyone to respect each other. We all want to be safe and to have love for ourselves and each other.
Some people might look at these wishes as wishful thinking, perhaps even idealistic dreaming. Perhaps they are, but I think it is a wonderful thing that so many people are so hopeful for our world and our future. That says a lot about us all!
