Do you agree? The world is dangerous because...

To an extent, I can see where you are coming from right there. There are just a lot of people who would really just like to sit back and stick their heads in the sand. Until it directly threatens them. Of course by that point, if something is threatening them, it would really just be too late to say the very least. Yet, some people just rather just let people go unchecked. And the longer people go unchecked, the more bold they are really going to be with their acts. People who get shut down early might not be a problem but people have been rather slow to react until someone rather slaps right in the face. Still the evil people are the dangers, people who do bad things, people who threaten others, but once they get momentum and support without getting shut down, then that is the true measure of how bad they are.

I have to disagree. There are various reasons why a certain thing is nearly impossible to stop. One example is when a man is planning to kill someone yet he hides his intentions through sketchy con acts. Do you possibly think that you can stop that man from killing the other man without you knowing his intentions? Although I do have to agree that it is also partially one of the reasons why the world is dangerous, I do not agree that you can put a blame on something which was caused by various factors.

What is dangerous for one person won't be dangerous for another person. Most countries in the world are safe but some countries are involved in war at the moment. These are the countries that are dangerous. I fell down a drain and badly injured my leg in Malaysia. I was helped out of it by some kind local people. A Swedish guy and three locals helped me back to where I was staying.

I think that the world is dangerous because we are trying to find out more things about the world, but I don't think that we are prepared for the things that we might discovered. I think that medical research is something that is scary. While our lives are getting longer, this means that there are also a lot of other diseases that are more common in older people which are getting more common because of the growing number of people who are reaching that age. The world is a dangerous place, and we should be very careful about what we choose to do with it.

Probably Einstein is correct.If we have nothing to do in order to avoid those happenings ,then it would be dangerous.......

I don't think it's that easy. Let say a thief steals a woman's purse on the street and is running away. You try to stop him, he pulls out a knife and you get stabbed. Most people always think like that, you won't risk you life just to try and stop a thief. I'm not saying everyone just has to stand by and do nothing, I just mean you also need to understand it's not as simple as jumping into the scene and being a hero.

Interesting thoughts here. Especially the way things are going right now in the way we continue to see things happening, or hear about something happening, and even when there are witnesses no one wants to Step up to the plate and admit it. Or they hide themselves and end up regretting it later. Personally what ever happened to wanting to help someone, and be a Good neighbor? Does it really help to be quiet and cover up for everything instead?

If you really weigh the situation of the world today, then it is true to many extent. I believe Einstein believed in the goodness of all men and the capacity to do great things by each, but since he probably saw that most wouldn't do anything about it, he felt how dangerous or in danger the world could be. Nations are ruled by people in power. Although we say that it is people who put them there, let us think deeper and see if it was really us who placed them there. I mean leaders offered themselves in service and all we had to do was agree because we are lazy or fear that we are incompetent to do so, right? My point is, there could be many things we could have done for ourselves and the rest if we really push ourselves to, but seeing and knowing that there are others who tried and failed, who are willing to do it for you, or who might judge and criticize you we become motionless. It is like the saying For Evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Hi, chiyosan! Your question makes me think a lot. The world where we are living now is not dangerious. I think it will be dangerious in the future if all people look on and do nothing to protect the environment.But most people have to stand by because they can do nothing.

No I don't think it's true. Although I can't stand cowards and complainers, fact is most people don't to anything, are not acting, prefere to blame others for their misery instead of being active themselves. And if it comes do danger: what is dangerous for one person hasn't to be dangerous to an other. It all depend how you look upon life.
