The world COULD live as one...

Socrates was a philosopher hundreds of years ago.  He philosophized what seemed to hold true for people at his time.  Now it is time to come to derive new philosophical ideas based on the new updated life we live in.  It would have to be someone who lives(d) an everyday life, seen the world at total chaos and at its most wondrous times.  It doesn't have to be someone who is sagacious or venerable. Some may even think song writers are philosophers, throwing in underlying meanings into their songs here and there, like John Lennon.

John Lennon had a very communist view of the world.  His ideas expanded through the sixties as riots and hippies filled the streets in America.  Many people were introduced to John Lennon when he was apart of the Beatles.  When they split up, John went his own direction to pursue his own music. 

Through the song Imagine, we see his philosophical views:

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

It is a very strong view.  To live a life without heaven or hell, no religion, no government, or even possessions.  To live everyday as it comes, enjoy the beauty of life around us and to live united.  A world full of peace. But can this only just be a dream…
