Questions: A Belated Passover Post

Have you ever noticed that the some of the most generous, kind and caring people are the ones who do not really have anything to share? That the best person to ask to get something done is a busy person? What if we all pitched in a little bit more, evened out the money and food and responsibility for getting things done, would it work at all or would it backfire? What if, rather than always trying to be better than ourselves or our peers, we were just content with who and how and where we were?

What if we lived in a world like that in Zanna Don't! (I'll let you look that up on your own time) aside from the fact that it would be a reproductive nightmare, what would it be like? Could it possibly be a better place? What if magic as it is portrayed in Zanna Don't!, Harry Potter, Tamora Pierce books and so on, what if that were real, how would our society be different? And if that were being kept hidden as in HP, how long could the Statute of Secrecy actually hold and work? Aren't humans a little too curious, rude and inquisitive for it to fully work (though I suppose as a species as a whole, we are stupid enough to ignore what is right in front of our faces if we want it not to be)? How, if there is magic, could it be as J.K. Rowling says and unlimited? How could it not be something that must be worked with inside limits? What if the universe as we know it is, rather than being its own entity, what if it is really part of something larger, some colossal being which is growing and therefore making the "universe" expand (I put universe in quotes because if we are part of something else or if there are other "universes" then the term is a misnomer)? What if, to this colossal being, large beyond our pathetic human imagination, we are the equivalent of what we call an electron? What are electrons, anyway? What if we are part of a cell in this colossal being and we are coming to the end of our life as a cell and therefor must self destruct as we are seeming to? What if every kid who wanted a chance to make a living in the arts got the chance? Without being teased? What if everybody just stopped bashing and making fun of everybody else negatively? What if everybody who was gay could just live their own life without fear of being attacked verbally or physically or locked away? What if we were to be told, suddenly, that we must all be the same? Have the same haircut, wear the same clothes, look the same, speak not only the same language, but the same dialect with exactly the same inflections, have only one kind of relationship with only one person and have exactly the same number of kids who look the same as everybody else and everybody else's kids? What if we were to have only government appointed jobs in government sanctioned industries making government approved products?What if the freedoms we have built for ourselves here in America were taken away from us and we lived under absolute monarchy or communism or some other such thing? What if those freedoms were extended to everybody in the country? in the world? How could it be a bad thing if everybody were able to get a job and go to school and marry the person they loved?
