I think the world will change, as it always has, but that trying to label/describe it as 'good', 'bad', 'better', and so on is to ascribe somthing to it that it does not inherently posess. The world is, and that's a fact. It can only be defined in relation to how it is perceived, and in doing so, characteristics are assigned to it. Say you have a rock. Is it a good rock? Not if you need sand, it isn't. In time, the rock will change into sand, but at no point is the rock any different for what you feel towards it.

Well my first thought to your question was no, the world will not change for the better...but being the optimist that I am thought...yes, but only if we want it to. It isn't going to happen over night (wouldn't that be nice, you know like the Walgreens commercials "the perfect world") and souly depends on us to make it change, for the better that is. I mean honnestly though can we really help those who are in a powerful position from being corrupt? No, they make their own decisions sort of, "with help" shall I say and unfourtuately alot of their decisions affect us "the people."

Like I said though I am by nature an optimist, I do think the world can change for the better, when I don't know and how I really couldn't tell you, it is happening, slowly but happening. Look around you for now, focus on the small things that are changing for the better...the fuel issue scientists and car companies are trying to find alternative fuel sources. I don't know if your for or against stem cell research thats your own perogative...but there have been significant advances with mice they were able to get a paralized mouse to begin to walk again implanting part of the cell into the mouses' spinal cord...think about what we would be able to do for someone who is paralized and there are other significant diseases that cause paralasis we may be better able to treat in the future.

Over all the future is looking bright I just hope we don't blow each other up before that happens. Just think what would this world really be like if we all could just get over our differences.

Do I seriously think that the World will ever change for the better? The only answer I can give would be that the only one that can change the world would be the people because if we do not correct our way of living and try to better the situation we live in we are doomed to all eternity.

Nope! It's like a roller coaster and we are going down faster and faster; and the saddest part is that ALL the politicians of the World only care for their purse and their own interest.
History keeps repeating itself and it appears nobody learned from the mistakes.
Have you seen the movie "The planet of the apes"? Not that I believe that apes are going to take over, even though any animal would not kill its own breed like human beings are doing. But I really feel like one day, they are going to blow it up!
As for a better world after, in the biblical term, we will all be dead by then, and it will not matter; Meanwhile, we are ruining the life of our future kids and eventually grand children; But WE are nothing and all that is out of our reach.
If worring for the World would help. I would say do; But it does not. So, don' t worry, live for your family and your friends, and be HAPPY!

the world itself will only become worse because the human race is becoming worse as we speak. The Bible says that there will be persecution towards the believers of Christ, therefore..the world will feel as if it just couldn't get any worse. But eventually, Christ will return and He will take with Him those that followed His word and obeyed His laws..then will the world be so much better because Christ will rein on earth for 1000 years :) ..so the answer is basically yes and no

It depends on what you mean by "better"! Some believe that accepting the way things REALLY are right now, having compassion for you fellow planet resident, and loving your neighbor as yourself, is one way to move toward a more peaceful, and joyful coexistence. If you feel that might be "better"

Unfortunately no because definition for better is different for everyone. Human being also does not like changing even for the better.

As long as people are willing to change, accept others differences, and really try to "do unto others as you would have do unto you", and not have the attitude of "a tooth for a tooth, an eye for eye" there is hope!

Absolutely. It will happen after the cataclysmic fireball from the 18-mile diameter comet that impacts the earth's surface, wiping clean all traces of mankind from its face.
