More About Me

An idea worth spreading

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

• A comment on Talk: Julian Baggini: Is there a real you?

  Jan 22 2012: I disagree with the fundamental premiss of the model, that individuals have no core. I think we each have a core that defines the basis, or starting point, of who we are and who or what we can become or achieve. However, I do agree that our environment, life experiences and circumstances can make us evolve over time for the better or worst.
  
  As the speaker mentioned, there was a group of musicians playing prior to him speaking and no matter how hard he practiced he could never be as good as they are, it's because of talents that they possess and are part of their core. So to me that sounded contradictory to his fundamental premiss that individuals have no core. That said, I still believe that individuals can change and do evolve over time willingly or not willingly (depending on their particular experiences and circumstances).

  A reply on Talk: Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace

  Aug 28 2011: Wars have been part of human history since the beginning of time. The legitimacy of governments to wage war to resolve a conflict should be considered criminal and their leaders criminals, in all cases without exceptions!
  
  Any change requires a long process taken in small steps. We can’t change the world in one day. Jeremy’s noble efforts are a step in the right direction.

  A comment on Conversation: What will you do to make peace on September 21?

  Aug 26 2011: Jeremy Gilley, your effort to promote world peace is extraordinary and your passion evident. I think you should be the next winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, you deserve it. Not to mention that it would add exposure and help the cause.

  A comment on Talk: David Hoffman on losing everything

  Jul 1 2011: I guess there are insensitive people with negative energy everywhere, like Jorre Borre, even on TED. Obviously, it's a product of:
  
  "a father who's a fundamental evangelist, he's never going to completely accept you if you don't share his faith. You not being part of the same faith will either pain him until his death or he'll choose to somewhat 'disconnect' from you, creating at least somewhat of an emotional abyss between the two of you"
  
  I guess that scarred him for life, combined with some "loco" genes = Jorre Borre
