Last night we asked the kids in our confirmation group to imagine a world without....... mobile phones and ipods and internet and where you walked or biked to school rather than be dropped off by car and a world with chalk and chalkboards and the imminent threat of nuclear holocaust and so on. All this they could do. Sometimes they needed a little help but they got there.
Until we said imagine a world with out AIDS.
And they could not.
They could not imagine what it would be like to live in a world without AIDS.
And we who grew up in a world without AIDS were speechless.
wow....that's powerful. and, sad.
