I wish we could change the behavior of other people, but it's almost impossible. So we can't fix things like crime, dressing habits, animal abuse, racism, pregnancy, bullying, bad parenting, and suicide. If I had the power to change people's minds, I would do that in an instant. No question. But I don't have that power. However, we all have the power to fight and fix other problems. Together, we can end world hunger (for the children). There's enough food in the world for the world population. The only problems are that it isn't distributed evenly, too much of it is wasted, and people are having too little of some food groups. We can change that if we just make sure food got to places ike the horn of Africa and stopped wasting things. We can donate money to those causes. The more developed world should make more of an effort to help places that need it. While we can't stop animal abuse, we can make more of an effort to help those animals in need. We can stop billionaires. But instead of making them pay taxes, we should make them donate to less developed countries. If they don't have the heart to help those people, they don't deserve their money anyway. We can also stop war. I'm starting to question why we even have wars anymore. I know that when people have different opinions or if one country wrongs another, they're going to argue. Then this often escalates until one country attacks another. But one country should be a bigger person and not attack back. Because then a war starts. And then more of your own people die. Thats the kind of thing you're supposed to avoid! Why invest in nuclear weapons? No country should have them! They're terrible. Look at what they did in Japan. The effects are still there. No country should have to experience that. Just negotiate with each other. Please. I don't see how killing each other solves anything. Because even when one country wins, both countries still lose. Thousands of people.
