The song "Imagine" by John Lennon is an example of a neo-classical philosphy expressed in a song that should get attention by the people's of the world. If only the peoples of the world concretize John Lennon's abstraction, there will be peace on earth. No heaven or hell, no countries, no religion and no posessions - nothing to kill or die for ! We live in peace.

I really like John Lennon and The Beatles. But yes, I think he was a dreamer. Like, he said "imagine no possessions", but he was a multimillionaire with LOADS of possessions himself. I think he was great, a very good person who influenced a lot of people, and stuff. But I personally don't buy some of his thoughts.

but the next line is I wonder if you can you have a point but it's not the same as him asking his fans to give up their posessions while keeping his

Such a beautiful song. Everthing would be perfect, but its nearly impossible for the world to be that way. No religion, and no greed for possession would definitely end the wars being fought or those that will be.

I think the song is just bad philosophy if you are impressed I suggest you read Swift all the best urban
