I laid in my bed one boring afternoon and as I was drifting into the unconscious path of sleep, I thought of many what ifs.
What if the sky was only deep purple and there were no clouds to stain it? What if there were no stars at night to bedazzle the evening sky? What a dull countenance the earth would have, I thought.
What if the sun didn’t emit heat and thus became approachable? What if the other planets were just like earth? Many of us would thrive to inhabit there.
What if humans could run as fast as metro trains, or fly as aircrafts, or sail on seas as ships? What if our body parts could transform us into our own means of transportation? Even the poorest of man would be able to tour the world.
What if we could launch into space without needing a rocket?
What if amputees could regrow their limbs?
What if there were no seasons? Year in, year out and we only have to live in one season.
I thought of these and then it struck me and I was awakened. What if there was no MONEY?

What if all we could trade with were our virtues and morals? What if compassion and empathy and loyalty came in credit cards and we could use them to buy things? Pay bills? Give alms?
What if love was the highest currency (like a black credit card) and the purer the love, the higher the value of that currency? Wouldn’t that be a genuinely awesome world?
