How can I make the world a better place?
Begin by finding a way to be financially self-sufficient. Take care of yourself first, and then you will be in the best position to help others. If you can make a career plan that allows you to earn a living while you are helping others, so much the better. As for exactly how you would make the world a better place, that depends on what's important to you. Ask yourself, if I could make a wish and one thing about the world would change, what would it be? Less poverty? Less sickness? A cleaner environment? Less crime? Less war? More education? More political freedom? More laughter? Everyone can make the world a better place according to therir own gifts. A singer does it through his music. A writer does it through his words. A lawyer does it by seeking justice in court. A businessman does it by contributing to charity, or conducting business according to a code of ethics. A teacher does it by enabling and inspiring others. Figure out what your gifts are, and how you can use them to change the world in ways you care about.
Would this world be a better place without me in it?
I can't find a better way to tell you that this thought is nothing short of suicidal thinking.Take a moment to ask yourself this question and answer it. Does the person next block even know you?A child is born with nothing to give unless he has been given something to look forward to.Ranging from love, care, guidance, you name it anything positive. There's also the negative they pick up as well from anywhere, anything or anyone, by so doing, they give back what has been given to them through the years of development in their own way.Some may become teachers,(the world benefits from them), doctors(the world benefits from them), heck even those one might find to be of the lowest level,(the world benefits from them) without them who would do those jobs?Point is, everyone has something, however little, to offer to the world.people gain recognition from places they would never dream of, because they affected the life of a stranger they might not even care about or even think exist.So before you pull that trigger or whatever, I'd like you to take a moment and think about that thing you know how to do.Do it and see the reaction you get. If done for the right people my friend you just affected the world,(the world benefits from you too). Some people might have a certain perception of the word world. They might mean it to be what's on the other end of the earths diameter, when really its just our neighbor nextdoor or your sibling who's also trying to affect the world in the way they know how. Everyone is different so don't compare yourself to another.
How do you think the world would be different if you had not been born?
If I were never born my parents would have likely been childless and my younger sister would not have been born. My parents believed they could not have children as they miscarried many and the daughter they had before me, Tamara, died fourteen days after she was born from a multitude of heath complications. They were ready to give up then I came along, a healthy big baby of 8lbs 11oz. Realising they could have a healthy child, they conceived my sister a couple of years later.We grew up in relative poverty and money was a constant struggle. My dad suffered a great deal of stress and I rebelled in my teenage years causing further stress. My sister followed suit- although I do not know if this was copied behaviour or innate to express her own frustrations and needs. Either way if I had never been born, my parents would have been financially better off and probably happier.My mother has since died and my sister rejects all contact from me and my dad. Neither of us know why but it was heartbreaking sitting at my mums funeral without her. One positive outcome from my existence is that my 81 year old father is not alone. I visit him regularly and help him with his housework and transport needs. We have no other family so my presence matters in this area.I consider myself a good friend and three close friends refer to me as their best friend. If I did not exist, they would have another but they may not be as loyal as I am. My existence ensures they will always have a confidant who loves them.In love I have been reckless and unlucky. Less hearts would have been broken and more women would have been victims of emotional abuse in my place.All in all though, my absence in this world would not matter. I’m average in every sense and I have never achieved anything great for the betterment of mankind.
Atheists can you prove the world would be better with out religions?
lets say for the sake of this argument your right, and their is no god. in such a world religions all would be product of human imagination, and not of Divine Revelations. if they can invent what ever religion and god they like, this made up thing can not cause them to do any thing they didn't create it to do, and intended to do any way their for isn't it safe to assume that in such a world religion is not a cause for people action and beliefs, but product of their beliefs and action. so if, as you claim religion causes people to kill, it is the people who created the religion in the purpose of promoting murder. how could religion be the cause of any thing, if it's a figment of our imagination, shouldn't it be just the symptom of our natural human behavior, expressed through every thing we do? and when i say the world be a better with out religions i'm not talking only about born again conservative Evangelicals. the world would be a better place with out these Satan worshipers. i'm talking also about Buddhists, Taoists, Pagans, Hindus, Shamanists and any supernatural belief now, if religion causes people to do things, as you suggest your self, it must be separated and independent from humanity, created by out side force, not influenced by the predetermined factors we humans posses from birth.
How much better would the world be if everyone followed their conscience?
“Every human has four endowments- self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.” Stephen R. Covey One of the important aspects of conscience is that it is common to all people. In other words, what feels right to the conscience of one man also feels right to the conscience of all others provided that the same conditions prevail. The reason lies in the source of conscience: it is the inspiration of God.
