Is it too much, to spend those last points on this?

As I sit at my desk writing this the real feel temperature outside is over 100 degrees. Last week we had a storm move through that caused damage. I realize how inconvenient it is, but at the same time I also realize how this is impacting our world. These increasing temperatures and storms, wild fires, hurricanes and tornadoes are costing lives, loss of homes, and for wildlife their habitat.

So, I would use my last remaining points, that is if I have any left, I keep reading others posts and giving them points to support them, but I believe those get replaced automatically as the good deed is recognized by AR support; to solve the issue of climate change, but I know it would not end there.

Every nation would find ways to reduce their imprint upon the world, wars would end, peace would spread and people would see that everyone has similar dreams. They would actually help each other thrive.

Can you imagine, world leaders would get out of the way and stop blocking progress towards changing our world, people of the world would see each other as equals and treat them accordingly with care and respect. Everyone would be working to change our world and find cures for all the ailments. Crime would fall as people receive support from others, hunger and food insecurity around the world would end. 

We would see not just the people thriving, but the wildlife and the plants, the oceans, as people pick up their trash keeping this world beautiful for all. Homes destroyed by war will be rebuilt leading to healing of trauma from the injuries and loss over the years. Nations would talk to each other, people would not hold grudges and hatred for others.

As I write this I think of John Lennon singing Imagine.

I have no more points left, but I don't care, living in a world like this would be life changing.

Hello NIck - since the points are imaginary, spending them might be limitless and automatically replaced over and over again.  Perhaps, that's the biggest point of all.  In this community and beyond its borders.  

Stay cool or as cool as possible.

Sounds like a very worthy way to use your points, but sadly I doubt that your points will be worth what it costs and whomever is taking payment will think you are bananas for trying to pay in points, haha.

Joan Cox I do not understand people who don't believe it is real and who promote more oil, coal etc. We need another way.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX thank you, I so hope for this to come true.

Kathy Streib  thank you.

Debe Maxwell, CRS I hope he has a good voice...enjoy thank you for this month's contest/challenge.

Lew Corcoran I so wish that we would see an end to these wars claiming so many lives so pointlessly.

I completely agree with you, Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543. It's heartbreaking to see so many lives lost to conflicts that often are so unnecessary. As my father used to say, wars were never about the people. It was about the regime in power. Here’s hoping and praying for a future where peace becomes the norm and these needless tragedies are things of the past.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 - Just imagine. I woke up to a world where there were people like you - Philanthropist and dreamers. 

Imagine is one of my favorite songs! The lyrics resonate strongly. I never saw this video before. To hear it and see all those beautiful photos of John Lennon with his Yoko really created a movie in my head because it was so moving! Yes! What at you wrote, Nick moved me to the core. When all is said and done, it's the values we live by that really counts.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 - you're not alone. Hearts are breaking everywhere, every single day, every time, day or night. It's really hard. I especially feel for the seniors in nursing homes who have no visitors and all they do is watch the news. The news is dreadful. It's poison to our ears and our eyes.

Patricia Feager absolutely, we all need a break from the continuous cycle of calamity in Gaza, Ukraine etc.
