It occurred to me yesterday that, for the most part, the JW dream of paradise could be created by us lowly humans. Sure, the animal kingdom would still have predators and prey, we would not be immortal, and the weather would still have a mind of its own. However, most of the conditions you see pictured in JW literature could be created by us humans. Obviously, this would require us to ignore our short-term survival instincts such as greed and jealousy and work together toward a common goal. We would have to return to a symbiotic relationship with Earth using only organic products harvested reponsibly with a view toward future generations. We would have to get over the limiting concepts of posession and property, racial prejudice, and other selfish inclinations.
Our health would absolutely improve. Who knows how long we could live in excellent health if we only ate nutritious wholistic foods instead of the processed chem-fest many of us presently live on? How much better would life be without the stress induced by a greedy, corporate world? Imagine how healthy our decendants would be after a few generations of this lifestyle. Surely, many of our worst ills, such as cancer and heart disease, would all but go away.
Technology would still be our friend, but we would explore it first with an eye to conservation, then to usefulness. I'm just a dumb ol' high school graduate, so obviously my technical expertise is lacking, but I believe this could happen if we all wanted it too. If anyone disagrees, we use 'em for compost.
