Writer's Block: The missing piece

Nothing. It's all here. Show me any of those other answers and I can probably point you at an example of it. Most of those I've seen seem to be based on the idea "well, I am a shining example of this quality, so I think there should be more of it," which (even if it's true, and mostly it is) is not what I understand by "missing."

If more people used more of the love in their hearts, tried harder to understand each other, and to judge and condemn less, that would be good, but again, it's not "missing." And I am as bad as anyone else in that respect.

Unicorns.
My flying car (this is the future!).
Unobtainium.
Interstellar spaceships.
Talking cats.

But I agree, most of the answers were not of things which are missing completely, they are things of which the poster would like to see more. One of the early answers said: "There is no understanding or tolerance of other religions" -- this is provably incorrect, there are lots of people who do have understanding and tolerance (and more than tolerance, welcoming) of other religions, it's just that they aren't in a majority.

Teleporters. I'd give a lot for a working teleporter.

This. I'd way rather have this than a flying car.
