Question

Why can't we all just learn to respect,and support each other.It makes me cry to realize that the world is in danger and that people are still steoreotyping against each other because of the many different races.I mean we were all created the same and we are all humans.Why can't we just get along?I know there still will be conflicts,but why can't we all just be a big happy family.We all need to save this world from the problems that could occur in no time.I pray everyday for this world to be peaceful,to be powerful,and to be friendly.I really cried tears asking this question.

Answer 1

Your tears are admirable but only because your innocence fuels them. The world we live in is much worse than you can imagine. I have been all over the world as a civilian and in the military. I have seen things that would make the hardest grown man cry. What we have here in America is the best thing going. We have laws that are generally enforced, a support system for citizens, freedom of speech and press, and rights just for being human. In most other countries, you are entitled to nothing except to pay the men with guns and power. I have met a family in africa that had to give its 14 year old daughter to gunmen because they had no money or food to give, so they took what they wanted. In this country, things will generally be taken care of but unfortunately not every time. But whats good here is that you need not live in fear of the military. They will not come to your house in the dead of night and rape you and kill your family. Almost anybody can find some form of work even if it pays minimum wage. Starvation in this country is not common. Life is not easy anywhere on earth but in the US its much better and that is why we are loved, hated and envied the world over. The people who burn the american flag overseas would give thier first born for a visa and plane ticket here. But you know what? We have these conflicts within our own borders with race and religion and economic standing. Sure they arent the same scale as in other parts of the world, but they exist. And what this tells us is that we are human. Humans by nature will have these sorts of conflicts anywhere on earth where someone is a have and someone is a have not. The only society this doesnt happen in is communism(ultra-liberalism). Now that you have some insight into this world, where do you go from here? We can't all get along unless we are forced to. So do we force everyone, or let everyone be free? This principle is what foreign policy dictates and is why so many people in this country hate the government because they see us as forcing ourselves on others. But which is worse? That is up to you to decide.

Answer 2

I am sorry to hear about the tears but i do agree with you.
Its mainly because someone always thinks they are better then someone because they thinks what they do is better and it should all be done their way.
But that is their opinion to life. The things is that what makes everyone different. So in a way it is a way of life, because most Friends are Friends because they like the same thing. Because if everyone was the same the word would be chaotic. People need to express their way of life
in their own way. Some are cruel and mean about and others are nice. Its like good and evil it keeps everything in balance.

I hope this advice helps and prevents more tears.

From: Someone who's cares about others.

P.S: Plz think about how other thing are balance and how it it keeps life from turning chaotic.

Answer 3

sweetie, the bottom line is that everyone is all caught up in telling everyone else what they "should" or "shouldn't" do. Ask yourself how many times someone has told you what you SHOULD be doing, with your life, etc? And how many times have you told someone else, or had an opinion on what someone else Should or Should not do?(barring solicited advice)The main problem is opinions of, and about, religion. Differences of religion are ok, right up until someone tries to convert someone else and tells them what they Should or Should not do. Everyone is so caught up thinking they have the absolute truth, when really, no one does. It's allright for people to believe whatever they want, but the problems ALL start when a person tries to change another persons individual way of believing. We will never get along as a society until people stop trying to tell other people that they are wrong about their beliefs.

Answer 4

I don't really know...
The only explination I can think of is that we all are raised in different areas, with different standards and ways of life, and by people with varying opinions on everything from politics to the way someones hair looks in a magazine.
What your raised to believe and what you learn in life tend to make you form opinions on people and things...wether it's good or bad. It just happens.
I have to agree... a lot of the time, it's pretty rediculous why some people treat others badly...sometimes it's over the most stupid and minor things, that in the end, really don't matter.

That's a great question.
I'll be thinking about that one for a while... Thanks!

Answer 5

Because we all need individuality to keep on going. Individuality is a state of mind though. So get used to it... things aren't gonna change in a million years, people might change but the cruel evil beasts inside them will never fade away so just turn around and let those people be. Because for once I am tired of people like you who just care about everything. You should just find something to entretain yourself with, and leave other people alone.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, there are those who were raised without morals, ethics, respect for others (and their beliefs), etc...
There are those who see people different from themselves and judge.
It's life, get used to it.
Just find out who you are and how to defend your positions while respecting others.

Answer 7

well hun, the world isn't going to get any better anytime soon. but you keep being who you are and maybe they'll see the light. you just have a very, very delicate spirit that's all. that's why it gets to you. but delicate isn't necessarly weak. remember that.

Answer 8

carry fingers and performance a sing-alongside of satisfied songs along with your co-workers? Dammit GCG it really is not BA fabric... imagine like a sox fan, imagine like a sox fan. Um, crap... bodily abuse the elderly?

Answer 9

I feel the same as you do, but not everyone thinks this way. Sorry, life is full of idiots, non-idiots, bigots, etc.

Answer 10

that is the perfect question and because of that there is no answer. I applaud you for your beautiful hopes and dreams, and for your gentleness.
