If I were an ant.

If I were to swap places with an ant, imagine the possibilities! We could put a stop to world hunger, leave the earth somewhat intact, live in close-knit communities, save scientist’s time and energy and see the world from another perspective - that of a tiny ant. 
Imagine with the ‘abundance’ of resources we have as humans, how abundant the resources would be as ants – all could share and all would work for their livelihood. It would take millions of years if that before our natural resources began to show some wear, but as ants we are happy to eat the goodness of nature and the goodness of nature is happy to be recycled - the world would be our organic supermarket, DIY store and energy supply company.  
We wouldn’t roam the earth in our international police forms, symbols of status and suits of authority - as an ant these egoistic traits would be peeled from our very skin restoring clarity to our once "blurred" vision - now we can truly see in an unbiased manner. Imagine how many opportunities to learn and the endless adventures we would encounter. Perhaps we could understand why ants are such hard workers, how they manage to keep a utopian society and the secrets of the forest. But apart from learning, imagine the beauties that the human eye leaves untouched - the drop of water that turns into a sea, a bridge provided by a fallen leaf and a few blades of grass that create a lush forest. Ants have the amazing ability to see the world at its greatest. Perhaps as ants we would finally come to appreciate the intricate networks of the world in which we live in  - and most importantly obtain a different perspective.
