What would a world be like...
What would a world be like, where no one had to worry that strangers would take advantage of their vulnerability?
Where an elderly person could answer the phone and not be afraid that the person on the other end was a scammer focusing on people like him?
Where an adult with Down's Syndrome whose last close relative dies wouldn't have to fear that no one would be 'on my side' in trying to live the best life possible?
Where a young woman with dreams of a better life could seek a job or schooling in a far-away place and never have to worry they'd end up trafficked into sex slavery?
What if you could choose a neighborhood to live in, a place to live, based entirely on your own needs, without concern about whether you were too "different" to "fit in" and might be at risk?
If you were traveling in a place you'd never been before, and your rental car broke down by the side of the road, and you felt nothing but relief and confidence when someone stopped to help?
How about a world where a kid might want to 'take a sick day' from school because they didn't do their homework-- but never because they worried about being a new kid and getting bullied?
What would that world be like?
Where we could trust each other because we're all human, rather than fear each other for the same reason?
Sometimes, I just wonder.
wistfully,
Bright
