The present state of the world, and it's course.
Do you think our world is fine as it is?
I don't because for example:
- War
- Pollution. Energy and resources. The balance with nature.
- Poverty
- Many unhealthy and unhappy people. Sick and suicide.
- With how little respect we treat old and sick people.
- Boring houses and boring neighborhoods.
- Schools that don't connect well with the young ones, don't stimulate their potentials.
- Money is OK, but the money system is sick.
- Stupid jobs that pay, next to good
work than doesn't pay.
- We can make the world a beautiful place, but we we're too busy with boring stuff.
- Politics don't inspire me, while they should lead loads of cool projects.
Not all is bad though.
There are so many good people and good developments.
I am not depressed, but I am worried. There are good solutions though!
Do you think our style of living can be improved?
I definitely think so, I believe we can do much much better.
Our future, following the present course
Our world is dynamic, forever changing. It won't stay as it is now. What is our present course? How do you think our world will be in 50 or 100 years, if we continue on this course? I am worried. I think we have to make some major changes for the better. And if we don't, we'll probably will go down in a terrible way, and the ones that survive will have to live a very primitive life, like animals again. Worst case scenario.
Have you made your design for a better future?
If so; great! Please share your ideas.
If not; are you going to make one?
We should ask the children at school this question. Let them study on it for a year or longer. It's about their life. Also because I don't have much faith in the old people who are in power now. Then again do old people have a great lot of experience, knowledge, that can prevent the young ones to make the same mistakes. Everybody who can, should try.
Guidlines
How well a country is doing, should be measured in things like: health and happiness, global balance of all kinds of life and resources.
(and not by the amount of money flowing).
A good plan is not fixed. Our world is dynamic, and so should our designs be.
What is a good plan?
Whatever works best. A good plan is important, but it is just a plan. We should make a lot of plans, choose some that look good, try them and see how well they work in reality.
Realizing it
Within a country there often are states. Each country could select two states to experiment new ways of living in. The results should be shared with the world. Good results should be tried in more places. Keeping in mind that a solution in one region might not work as well in an other region. Also do solutions on a small scale, not always would on a large scale.
And as the world changes, so much we adapt our style of living. What works best today, might not be the best solution tomorrow. We should proceed with care.
Resistance
Many people are afraid of change, even if it is for the better. Lazy also, accepting the current situation as normal, not wanting to do anything out of the ordinary. And some people in power are dangerous, because a change for the better could reduce their power. Scared people with power can cause lots of harm. But a good plan is not simply a shift of power from one minority to another, that is "boring old style", it should make most people happy, even the ones who are wealthy now.
