What if it were a perfect world?

I OFTEN sit and think about a perfect world, where girl loves boy and boy loves girl. Where crime and violence are no more, like those days of long ago.

But if crime and violence ever cease, what would be the purpose of the police?

If there was no more sickness and injury to persons when they are robbed, all the doctors and nurses would be without a job.

What kind of world would that be? No evil thoughts or envy?

Politeness would be the order of the day.

In traffic you’d give the other person the right of way.

Can you see the perfect world my friend – when all bad things come to an end? Life would be perfect; yes it would. Would you prefer to live this life if you could?
