A cool breeze deceives us of the warm day ahead. Birds call as the wildlife awaken. We feast on our favourite morning beverage and hearty breakfasts at Lucia’s as I open our meeting informally.
“Now how are Daisy and Ted progressing with that morality test for our leaders?”
“They are really powering with support from their university and post-grad students. The test is very close, being fine tuned now and it will be trialled very soon” said Reg.
“Great now how is our universal citizenship campaign going in order to demolish borders?”
“More are understanding the essence of ONE set of legislation for all, along with the cost effectiveness of mutual flags with no national anthems, shared police, courts and secret service organisations. Emergency services will respond from the nearest location regardless of state or country border. Progress is becoming smoother as the common ground and fiscal efficiency are repeatedly proving successful. But evidence, time and more analysis will convert those opposed.”
Punctuated by a pelican breaking the surface, meetings seem more amicable in congenial surroundings. We take time to eat and drink while chatting quietly amongst ourselves.
“Now how are our education and housing projects going?”
“All on schedule as the donations are flowing in nicely, so many agree that this is a long overdue change. Educators are rejoicing that their voices and suggestions are igniting enthusiasm in learning once again. Still more funds are needed to cover those regions most damaged by recent wars. Any more ideas for resourcing?”
“We’ll pass on your request to that committee as they have some worthy connections.”
“Now how are the new approaches to domestic violence, custodial issues and cruelty to animals going? Oops sorry no time for that today, it will be first on our next agenda along with sexual consent.”

thanks Mich, many doom and gloom books have been published and their gruesome ideas came to reality eg Orwell’s 1984 … so if we can spread these ideas maybe they can also happen in the near future Mich ❤

Not sure one can ever come up with a concrete or at least a decent morality test for leaders at least from our side of the world. But, there is hope; there is always hope.

i like the opening line, it prepares me for the rest of the text, never be deceived by first looks or impressions, if only it were this simple to settle the problems of the world. reminds me when we do a table top drill, never like when the real thing happens, people freeze if really called to action.

yes, I’ve often found that … in real crisis I step up and often have to order, drag others into the fray … I don’t understand the ‘freeze’

More money is spent on meetings than in actions 😦
The priority of issues is just delaying tactic.

Important issues that need to be addressed and dealt with.
A great write, Kate. I’m enjoying this so much! I’m rooting for the Justice Jedi!
(((HUGS)))
PS…I used to get so frustrated with the people in committees who just seemed to want to talk things to death and never take action. 😦 I was always like “Come, people! We know the plan…we’ve talked it to death…now let’s get out there and do what we’re supposed to do!” 🙂

A very interesting ending, Kate. I think you are right about the order of preference when it comes to equality and problem solving in the world. One supports the other though, so nothing can work in isolation.

nothing ever works in isolation, everything/one is interdependent … so right Robbie 🙂

There’s one exception to your “Nothing ever works in isolation” — Donald Trump. If he were working in isolation (solitary confinement in prison), we’d all be better off.

Too bad it is just fiction…. I think we need to recognize that we have more similarities than differences.
