What are we going to be

This is NOT "The End of the world"! 
Yet, I don't think I am that far off in thinking that in the past dew days more people have either heard or said something along those lines, or least had some passing thoughts around that cross their mind. Most of it in jest, yes; But it just seems more times now, than in the past few years. 
Now, putting away that improbable and unduly unnecessary panicky phrase away,  I tried to instead to imagine what we will do and become as humans during these times. Then I sort of realized that that is not going to make an iota of difference as to what will happen in the near and short term. 

So, I am taking a chance and also asking you too to, to try and imagine what we could become in the long term. Can some of us along with some of the folks we are directly or indirectly connected to, in some remarkable twist, become that proverbial drop of water in the ocean that turns the tide? (Apologies for mixing metaphors).  Can we become that drop that infects (in perverted manner of speaking) people around us and the peoples of the world, even if in very minuscule propagative and weakening over iterations transfer; Sprinkle dots around the globe that will keep us more connected. A connection that will we can lean on, no matter the distance or fear.

Can I/we do or say some thing that will contribute to taking it up a notch in making it easier for us humans to be a better US?  Yes! for us too, bat dare I say more so for the generations coming after us, in fact just let me dangle this out there - for even everything around us, human or not.

So towards this goal, I am asking us to dream big, dream up Utopia level big. Many of my similar dreams do not have a structure that could be executed on. The rare few that may have had a structure I did not have the talent or wherewithal to communicate to myself or others a structure that could even take a dream to a place where anyone could think of laying out a plan to execute the dream. In the few rarest instances where plans were even discussed, lack of discipline and self belief, laziness and a lot of other vices played a part in making dreams vanish.

So, what am I trying to ask you with all this rambling?
I suspect most of you have had similar thoughts. Many of our dreams, at least those that involve other folks - the extended society and peoples of world, are quite similar even if expressed differently and at some times seem to conflict, but I will optimistically state for now that our goals were quite similar.
I am asking us fill each others gaps - these gaps of not able to put a fitting structure, pick up from the others when some of indulge in our vices or just drop the ball because of laziness or hopelessness.
Polish the dreams of others and make those shiny enough for some, some day to make plans for those.
I am am not out to diss the leaders of the world, current or past. But in some sense leaders morph into politicians, and may longer lead the way in a manner that pushes towards humanity's goals as needed. They may even started out that way and even still have that deep conscience that tugs them to thing and do the right thing, bring the right people together if they do not have the knowledge or skills to make the best decision
