How do we make the world a better place?

Question

Okay most Christians believe that the end times will eventually come and they will go to heaven. Pagans like myself believe that one day we will no longer have to reincarnate but in the mean time we still have to live here so instead of waiting for the end times or an end to our reincarnation cycle what can we do to improve the quality of life here on Earth?

Answer 1

By educating people about other cultures, races, religions and such. When people understand something then most times they will become more tolerant of it.

Answer 2

I, too, am Pagan and I don't think that we will stop reincarnating when the 'endtimes' come. I believe that there will be a major shift in consciousness and we will enter into an entirely new, and very different era. I believe that Earth is in the process of cleansing and re-balancing itself which is why we are experiencing such an unusual number of natural disasters. I believe that the best thing we can do is to take care of Gaia, the Earth, send Her healing energy to help her cleanse herself. I think that our poor treatment of her is why the natural disasters have been so intense, violent and caused so many deaths. The best we can do is try to improve from here!

Answer 3

Sometimes it's important to believe in something that may not be true, such as all people are capable of change and caring for one another... that everyone can be a good person. When you live your life beleiving that then you can put your faith more readily in the people around you. It's important that we call care about the well being of other humans and our world as a whole. When we are able to do this, then all of our lives will benefit.

Answer 4

I am a Christian and our job is not to make the world a better place but to save people out of this world. This world is passing away and God has prepared a better place for those who will trust in Him. This old world is going to be destroyed, so why waste your time trying to improve it when we can be delivered from it.

Answer 5

I believe the world would be much better if we got rid of all the governments, but I can't see that actually happening.

Answer 6

the answer's simple. do anything you can to help others. go see the elderly in the nursing homes, help plant a tree, visit the hospitals, do volenteer work, etc. just do anything within your power to help make some ones day a little brighter.

Answer 7

If...
We don't steal
We don't kill
We don't lie
We don't drink and drive :)

to get results in a short period i think these will be enough.But of course the list can be longer

Answer 8

"by treating others as we wish to be treated by others."

"by understanding and realizing and exploring the ways, by following them. by encouraging to give than to take. by understanding the fact that our sacrifice (of our beloved thing) for someone can really make him happy., and if we will deprive him of that thing, it can make him sad."
"on community level, we must try to promote love and to through off the hate. by giving time to our family, friends & people we know. "

Answer 9

Well, first, we need to get humans to change thier attitude. Most of us have thais attitude of, "how can i get more than I put itn?", or "what's in it for me?" , and it stops us from filling much of our potential. So change our attitute, is the first step.

Answer 10

Commit our lives to Jesus Christ and obey his teachings.

The world will be a better place if we all do this.
