Does everyone want to change the world? And if so, how?

Yes I do!  I wish that we could all love one another.  I wish we could share what we have with those that have nothing.  To think in this "modern" age there are still wars and babies starving makes me despair.  How would I do this?  This is an age old problem which has yet to be solved.  The only solution is to ensure we take an active part in electing competent leaders who share our utopian vision.  If we do nothing, we only have ourselves to blame!

I think as Americans all we truly want is to be treated fairly, and for the entire world to experience the peace and freedom we take for granted every day. We need a new strong leader that has the ability to convey this message to the world. We as a populace need to realize how the rest of the world views us. We can shrug it off and say we don't care what the rest of the world thinks.... but we really do. We need a new direction. To restore our "soft power", we need to be very careful about who we elect in '08.

You cannot change people... you can only change yourself. Start with that. If you are mean, become considerate. If you are greedy, become generous. \n\nSay goodmorning when you go to school or work tomorrow to all the people you come in contact with. Smile. You'll be amazed at the response you get.

Why? Where to start, how about that everything is allready so F.U.B.A.R. that trying to change it is impossible, just a little fish fighting against the overwhelming current of ingnorance and distaste. Some people just don't think for themselves beleive it or not, like little robots, you input info and they never question anything for themselves.

I think because the world would be over populated.  Also, I think it is to give everyone else a "turn".

Why in the world would you want to ?

Since we each create our own reality, we are only better off in a collective reality as it matches our own desires/energy levels.  If everyone were capable of generating the positive, higher-level energies of peace, love, cooperation and respect, there wouldn't be the dearth of those qualities in society as to prompt your question.  As we change our personal desires to higher levels, we ultimately change our society by acting on the higher concepts and influencing the energies of others.  Water seeks its own level, and the same is true of energy.  Marianne Williamson said it best,  "as we allow our own light to shine, we unconcsiously give others permission to do the same."

Your question really has no answer, if it did, everyone would be implementing those ideas all around the world.  You can't change others or countries, only yourself.  Study hard, work hard, take risks and keep an open mind to new views and ways of doing things...that's all anyone can do.

I say, keep fighting the good fight. You may not be able to change the world, but don't let it change you. The more of us who live by this creedo, the more likely it is that we will change the way people think. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know that somewhere down the line you actually saved a life?

This is just my opinion, but I think that everyone is driven by a thing that rationalizes, justifies, and projects. With that in control of their "self" there will always be misunderstandings in religion, and in politics, in philosophy, in you name it. As long as we rationalize, justify, project, and blame others for our own mistakes we'll have what we have. The only way to change that is to change the individual. The only place to start is with self. That changes part of the world for certain and gives others around the individual a positive example. That might help them change, or at least make life a little brighter for them. Oh, that thing inside each person that rationalizes, justifies, and projects? Its called ego. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

if the world was on the right path everyone would be happy...everyone would have a home to live in and food on their plates. but this question is pretty controversal so i don't want to get too political.

One world, one government. Combine all of the worlds resources for the betterment of all.\n\nWorldwide education for all. A necessary requirement. Insure that empathy and morality are taught and we begin to see eachother as one people. Perhaps during this process, the human ego can eventually be less of a problem than it is now.\n\nGather the top thinkers and try and come up with a new system to motivate people that has nothing to do with the accumulation of wealth. This is a tough one that would require alot of planning and transitional work.\n\nLook into space as the next frontier. Education plays a big role in this, as well as the many other changes required for the systematic resocialization of an entire species.\n\nWork with our planet and begin to ease the many environmental issues that are already suffocating it.\n\nNothing I've written here is new but it does bear pointing out. It's also important to note, imho, that the biggest technological breakthrough we've seen in the last 100 years (after the radio) as been the internet because of it's ability to bring people even closer together. It is already the most powerful tool available to the individual and grants us all the ability to become leaders and productive players for positive change.\n\nIf such a person had the power today to begin moving us all in this direction, it would require several generations before the seeds of this labor began to bear fruit. Which is why the most powerful person in the world becomes but a bit player in the larger scheme of things.\n\nIt's easy to imagine that fundamental changes would be met with fear, anger and sometimes violence. The status quo usually works to deliver this. \n\nSo in the end, because of the walls already in place, the most powerful person on the planet can be expected to be the meekest among us... for he or she would know that change is a group effort.

If it were my dreams, heres what I would do:\n1.  End violence of every kind imaginable worldwide, such as child or adult abuse, murder, rape, torture, evil dictators and suicide bombers,  war, children killing children, and much more.\n2.  Have everyone in the world, be without any sort of mental problem, or disease, where nobody would ever have to take prescription medicine to survive, and everyone die peacefully in their sleep, when its their time to go.\n3.  Everyone in the world to have all the money they need to live comfortably, in modernized living, in nice homes, and food on every table, where nobody would ever go hungry again.

Yes, everybody can...\nThe thing is that they have not yet achieved the level needed for that to happen...

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 !
