Kia Ora,
::) Fill in the blanks...The World Would Be a Better Place If :eusa_think: ...........................................................................
Metta Zenda :)
There's a quote that goes something like, "The problem with the world is that the intelligent are full of doubt while the stupid remain sure they're right", so a slight reversal on that might help.
Or perhaps if chocolate was good for you, that's a world I want to live in ;D

Kia Ora Hazel,

...if everyone truly had an open mind.
The world WILL BE a much better place when the majority of humanity comes to understand that our power and our strength is ALWAYS expressed through LOVE, GRATITUDE, APPRECIATION AND JOY, and that our weakness is always expressed through the emotions of fear, anger, rage, revenge, jealousy and blame.
The world will be a much better place when the prevailing mood of social, political and fiscal interactions on this planet is akin to LOVING KINDNESS, and interactions fueled by suspicion, greed, exploitation and self aggrandizement seem generally bizarre and anomalous to most people's way of thinking.
Thank you for asking. This is a fun question to comtemplate.
Hugs!

Bunnies are evil!!
Anya, is that you?
The world would be... not better, but more my kind of place if magic and the like were real. I want both science and magic. And to be a supervillain, take over the world, and hopefully not be thwarted by Shawn Sunshine.
Other than that, what John Smith said. Also for food to be healthier and for everyone to have enough. Same with water and other basic necessities. Civil rights too.

I love this.
I could contribute by saying the world would be a better place if people pulled their heads out of their butts.
Another way of saying people should stop being ignorant and narrow-minded jerks.
Sadly very common in Finland.

Technically, that is true. If all of the land used to raise cattle were used for vegetation instead, we could feed the planet easily several times over.

I despise it when people waste food. Just the other day, I was at a restaurant and asked if I could take another table's plentiful leftovers home. More food for me! ;D

I think it's one of the great tragedies of our age, that the only reason that any person starves on this whole planet is ...logistics. :(

Kia Ora Jen,
I believe it was Lao Tsu who said "A journey of a thousand miles-begins with the first step!" Every little bit of kindness and compassion helps...
"Ones thoughts become ones words and ones words
can become ones deeds!"
Added :
"A Buddhist hands a twenty dollar note to the vege burger vendor and said "Make me one with everything!" ;D The vendor gives the Buddhist the vege burger. The Buddhist stands there waiting for the change. The vendor shakes her head and says, "Change must comes from within." ;)
Jokes aside, the seeds to grow a better world, must begin to germinate within each 'individual'...

Quote from: peky on January 18, 2013, 09:53:29 PM

I go to bed hungry by choice since I don't like the feeling of food in my stomach when I go to sleep. Perhaps we can amend that to, "when not a single child would have to go to bed hungry without a choice, unless the kid did something bad as is being punished with a 'sent to bed without supper' kind of thing." :)
....just one more person would confront the fear(s) that bind them.
Hopefully, the world became a better place in the time it took me to write this. :)

if brand new video games were $20 instead of $60
If a person really could 'walk in another persons shoes'
If every single person in the world gave me a dollar. ^.^
Possibly if lust didn't exist.
Cigarettes, alcohol, and carbonated sugar drinks were sold in unbranded, uniform, plain packaging.
The government stopped super taxing things just cause someone thinks they are bad for me.
