wouldn't  the world be a "happier" place?

Child of God, yes -- if we could all learn to think of each other with hearts filled with kindness, compassion, and understanding -- this world would be a much better place.\n\nDo I believe that WE can make that happen?  No.  Because evil and hatred are very real, and we can't defeat them by ourselves.\n\nIt doesn't mean, though, that we should give up trying.  Perhaps each of us can make "our little corner of the world" a little better by treating each other with courtesy and respect.  Peace !

You're absolutely right!\n\nPeople should just love their lives and try not to want so much.  That's the problem with our society.  We WANT.  A lot of us can't be happy with what we have like we should. \n\nI once spent three weeks in a third world country to see what it would be like.  I brought a lot of my usual luxuries with me just in case I couldn't handle it, but I ended up not using any of them at all.  I just relaxed and tried to enjoy the simple life.  It was great.  When I got back to the United States,  I just went back to my usual self, BUT I did learn to love my life more.  I don't know what it was, but I feel like a better person now and I dont want as much as I used to.  It's pretty great and I'm trying to keep it this way. =)

Oh would the world be a whole lot better, but human nature is just bizarre sometimes, but I love your frame of mind, none of these things builds character or self esteem in the long run.

If I could have one wish and any wish in the world it would be that everyone in the world(including myself) would be happy. There would be no stress, no feeling nervousness or anxiety.  Wouldn't everyone benefit from that?

The world can be a better place if we could all just recognize that everyone has more similarities than they do differences. If we could put a face and feelings to the people we tend to hate. If we could try to understand where people are coming from and why they feel the way they do before we judge them. The world would be a better place if we realized that every single person on earth has come to view things exactly as they do as a result of both their past experience and what they have been taught. Rather than persecute them for those views, we could offer them new experiences or teachings on which to base their views of the future.

I like your question. The answer is: the world would be a much, much better place--more intelligent, more civilized, less shallow & superficial, and definitely less materialistic. I'm all for the extermination of "dumb celebrities."

I think the "world" is a fine place. Nature is amazing and should be protected. Fighting? I suppose yes, but not at the detriment of flora and fauna. If you are referring to humans, we leave a lot to be desired but the good within should eventually catch up with our level of education , thus the utopia written about in fiction might be achieved.\n\nDo only good things and you will be a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem.

I can only imagine.Mankind would probably be in a much better, if not more crowded place, but I'm not sure how our government would be fareing.

I wish people would be happy as much as i expect but no they aren't. It is kinda like we are living in a whining world. Everybody wants more and more, even though they have everything they want, i think they still are gonna be unhappy. Kinda nature of people. It is not that only pessimism or greediness something more deep hard to explain. Because if they have been cured they still gonna crave for something. Sometimes drives you to live, and sometimes makes you blow up.

I think that if people did lighten up and stop trying to spread the gospel (instead tried to live as an example to it) then the world would be a better place. Every time I try to smile here someone shuts it by shoving God down my throat. I love God, God loves me, end of.\n\nNow we've got that out the way, let's all smile and get drunk on the fermented grapes that the Lord has given us!

sure there are millions of happy people all over the world ! I'm happy because I'm alive...  I have love , family , friends ,a home food and clothing... the world  is still here... so there is still hope  for our future .. there is  plenty to be thankful for... I could concentrate on what I don't have ... like many unhappy people do...   but why make your self so unhappy ??

I agree George Bush here and Ann Coulter in Iraq. The world would be a much better place to live. I get happier just thinking about. Thank You, you have made my day. You have a nice day too.

I don't think it is. Have you noticed the state of the world lately ? That alone is enough to keep anyone depressed.

I agree, the world would be VERY boring.  Mistakes are awesome (when they are the kind you can laugh at!).  They make us closer, and if we were perfect, we wouldn't be tripping down the stairs; we'd be walking SLOWLY and have perfect balance.  If the world was perfect, we wouldn't say the wrong thing and make everyone laugh; we would think CAREFULLY before we spoke.  Thank God we aren't perfect!  In Heaven, though, it'll be a "perfect" perfect, if that makes sense! :-)
