“IMAGINING OTHER…” a personal view:

Return to Index Page

All my notes are written from a socialist, environmentalist and antimilitarist perspective.

I believe that we need to create another - and better – world, one characterised by equality, sympathy (compassion), and non-violence.

But we can only begin to do this if we use our imagination:

- first, to feel with others who are suffering under the present system,

- and second, to think how things could be other than how they are now.
