The author describes the world in their eyes as a place without violence where people can play freely outside without fear. They long for a world like their parents' generation where children could play in the streets safely. However, today's world has made people prisoners in their own homes due to threats of harm. In the ideal world of the author's imagination, animals can talk, people can fly, and there is no death, disease, hunger, bullying, sadness, war, or sin.

2. The world in my eyes would be a place where
we could leave the house without worrying
about being robbed, stabed, assaulted, raped or
kidnaped at the door of our own houses or even
in schools. Today, we do not have the same
freedom to play on the streets as in the old days
of our parents and grandparents. We have
become prisoners inside our own houses because
of violence and slaves of our technologies.

3. To my eyes, I would like a world where I could play on the street games like
seek and hide, skip rope, volleyball, dodgeball and even do pic nics. But,
unfortunatly, today’s kids want to be adults too early and some have become a
victim of early erotizaton. That’s why I believe this world is lost and and I do
not want to be a part of it, so in my eyes I live in a better world like an
enchanted land where nobody grows, where at breakfast we eat all sorts of
sweets and all kinds of delicious cakes, eggs with bacon and milk-shakes of all
flavors. In the world in my eyes the animals can talk, I can fly and there would
be no death, no disease, no hunger, no bullying, no sadness nor wars, nor sin
and nor aborption in this world...
But this place really exists and it is called the New Jerusalem.
