To have becomes our next goal after survival, and most of the times, they become our last. Thus, we become insensitive to the needs of others, humans or not, and ignorant to the needs of the planet. Collaborate with a town council or utility board of commissioners to pass a resolutionsupporting Imagine a Day Without Water. Wibowo from Jakarta, IndonesiaThis is my (rather long) opinion on John's Imagine @ Nooventures [http://wit.110mb.com] Imagine all the people believing as they should! You can go there if you would – just place your faith in Him.? ?Praying that you will! Yes U o Oooo. . .? Thebeatles from Areawesome, AlAll he is doing is trying to inspire people. Inspire Peace. Make the world as one. Make everyone as one. John Lennon was a great man. I am a dreamer.

Bev from Di, AlIt's just a simple song about IMAGINING a world without all the things that divide people...that's all.

Jonn from Liverpool, EnglandThe people who view peace as impossible are wrong. We as humans have the ability to shape the world into whatever we want. It is people that view it as a lost cause that slow its development down. When people start bringing up their children properly with love, we shall have peace. We need to see the error in our ways and make a change; we could have peace in a second if we really wanted it. I hope someday people will realise that we are all humans living on the same world in which we need to all live as one, as John said. All you need is love. Those who believe that Jesus is God are not burdened by him but liberated by him from worldly things. Jesus taught us to wipe the dust off our feet as evidence against those who would not believe the Word of God – not to harm non-believers. Lennon suggests that religion is responsible for man’s inhumane actions to his fellow man. Though this may be true of those with twisted concepts of their religion, it is not true of real Christians. Brandon from Philadelphia, PaKim could not have said it any better. Although i dont really agree with the whole god thing, but thats just a personal belief. Steven from Bundaberg, AustraliaImagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky.... Why would you want to imagine no heaven?...heaven is the only place where this utopia of John's exists. This is nothing more than an 'Imagine there's no God and we can all do what we like' - song. People are far too selfish to exist together in harmony without laws with sanctions. Let me quote a Keith Green song that tells it how it is. "..so many laughing at Jesus, while the 'funniest' thing that He's done, is love this poor stubborn, rebellious world, while their hate for Him just goes on...." God wants to SAVE you from your sins and take you to heaven, not join a religion. John was just imagining heaven. Ironic. The Beatles disbanded in 1970 but during the last week of December 1972 "Imagine" by John Lennon was #1...

Stephan from Pw, NyNowhere in the lyrics did I see anything about living in fear, and i'm sorry but it seems you don't have your own interpretation. Show me which line says anything about living in fear and I might believe you, all i've seen is a line mentioning living in peace...if thats fear then someone wasn't paying attention when they listened to the song miltiple times or read the lyrics multiple times to figure out what it meant. Until then I think that you've been brainwashed by the capitalists. And i'm not willing to engage in a battle of wits with someone who is so woefully unarmed. Christopher from Boston, MaImagine, What a Wonderful World, Blowin in the Wind, Amazing Grace and a handful of other songs still give me chills each time I hear them. Sibella from Pretoria, South AfricaWith or without religion, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. That's a qoute from Steven Weinberg. So sorry about your poetry contest, Tay!Linda from London, AlJay from Atlanta, Georgia, why do you hate "Imagine" so much? You say that John didn't even believe in the song, but then why would he write it, and other songs like it like "Give Peace A Chance"? I doubt John would give up his possesions like cars just because of a line in the song. I mean, everyone loves possesions, and if you wrote the song (which, not to be rude, but I doubt you or anybody but John could have wrote it) you probably wouldn't give up nice things like cars for it. But I think people are getting way too worked up about what this song is all about. It's just a song about peace and love, which John greatly supported. Many things I've read about John and the Beatles say that John thought it was strange people tried to read so much into waht his lyrics meant. In fact, that's why he wrote "I Am The Walrus" during his days with the Beatles - a kid sent him a letter asking what one of his songs meant for a school project, so John wrote "I Am The Walrus", which meant absolutely nothing, to annoy people that tried to figure out what it meant. It's just a song, and as my grandfather says "I don't think they [the Beatles] were trying to do anything but sell albums." He meant that they, at least in the beginning, didn't get into making deep meanings for their songs. Just listen to the song an enjoy it, don't get all worked up about what it really means! It's just a song! (a great one, by the way!) Give Peace A Chance! Paulo Pato from Toronto, CanadaI read somewhere that David Bowie helped Lennon write the song Imagine Brian from Boston, MaJohn Lennon wrote many more songs that are much better than this It is amazing to me how this is the first song most people associate with him.Much in the same way Hey Jude is the first song associated with the Beatles.I find it hard to believe that anyone that is a real Beatles fan could consider these songs among their best.I encourage everyone to fimiliarize themselves with all of the Beatles music and not to be limited by the overplayed selections of an oldies station.
