Someday... "no child left behind" will become a meaningful reality. Some children will still learn more math, more art history, more science, or more philosophy than others. But every child will have his or her specialties, and every child will honor and develop those specialties to their greatest potential and their utmost joy.
Someday... we will enter the marketplace with our unique gifts, confident in their value. We will not lose any sleep over those talents or passions that we do not possess because we will understand that teamwork is the natural order of humanity. We will expect to find others whose joys and abilities complement our own.
Someday... all organizations will be partnerships, and all workers will be partners. The very idea of "employees" will be considered feudal and barbaric, a mark of distant history. Partners will be responsible only for their highest calling. To give up one's calling will be considered impossible, unreasonable, unimaginable.
Someday... all tasks will be valued equally. Developing new products, managing inventory, and maintaining the cleanliness of a store or workspace will all be seen as critical to the whole and therefore incapable of being valued separately. And being valued equally by society, all people will value themselves.
Someday... all despicable work will be eliminated. We will create and provide clean energy solutions, healthy work conditions, and safe living environments for everyone. Anything less will be considered unacceptable. Those who choose to take on our deplorable tasks during the time of transition will be held in the highest esteem.
Someday... our joys in our accomplishments and the strength of universal self-worth will eliminate all feelings of inferiority, jealousy, bitterness, and hatred. Fully embracing ourselves, we will fully embrace each other, and no one will ever again know loneliness, fear, rejection, or despair. Knowing our true value, no one will be forgotten.
Someday... we will understand that the freedom to live our joys depends inherently on the contributions of those who complement our own talents. We will understand that our greatest strength lies in each other. Valuing all of humanity--profoundly and reverently valuing all of humanity--we will finally know Peace on Earth.
