The world we live in is filled with challenges to our survival and development as a species. These challenges exist on many levels, ranging in nature from the environmental and ecological, to the political, ideological and spiritual. I don't know what the future holds. Maybe this is how life for human beings has to be...full of conflict, righteousness, and struggle. But maybe not.
If we take the case that it is possible to make a difference in the nature of human life on earth, how do we actually do that? Taking into account billions of different and conflicting needs, perspectives, and beliefs, how do we change the world? How do we build a world characterized by balance, prosperity, and global community? Is it possible? I believe it is, and that belief gives me a sense of purpose in my life. What do you believe?

You cannot change the whole world it's too impossible, but your own world i mean how you live (lifestyle) is possible to change. You cannot have the power to make all the living creatures live by what you believe and what you want. Ir's yourself who should adjust to the changes and exicting things available in our world.

Thanks for your great comment! Personally, I'm not interested in making all the living creatures believe what I believe and want what I want. That would be the polar opposite of what I'm talking about. I think you make a great point about changing your own world and lifestyle. Do you think that changing your own life makes a difference in the world? I do.

well not so much easy..
but yes not so tough too
just change the currenct of all the world..
and start new currency for each country
and tell everyone to come to bank and exchange their old currency to the new one..with a earning proof..
its a long procedure..
but we could do it..

Well rome was not built in a day as you know and even God took six days to create the world, it would take a much more time ti change it. may be upgrading it is so difficult that even god is not trying to do so. lol
seriously now we all can change the world by changing th world around us and do little little efforts towqards building our own common societies. Lets say, I can stop being descriminating against others for their economic status and race and lots of other things. we all can create a small niche in our own way and society will see the impact definately. If we all put an effort fro where we are, we can set a chain reaction. So in essence to change the world just change your ownself.

I agree with one of our friends who resposded to this querry that you may change your life style. You know it needs to have good vision to see the beauty of the world. There is a saying in urdu "shauk-e-deedar hai agar to khud main woh nazar paida kar" which means if you want to see something (here I will say beauty) then you have to awake your sense/vision. Be optimistic.
