Answer 2

It is true, parts of the worlds population are not very nice, not good at anything useful and they are that way by choice.

So why do they choose to have a life that revolves around hurting people. What school teaches the technique for beheading? Who said it is alright to starve people to death when you have plenty of food to go around.

I have no answer to those kinds of questions. People like that have always been around. They also have always been in the minority of the world population.

So what to do? Well, first understand today as we sit here. More people live in freedom than ever in the history of the world.

That "freedom" maybe condenses the bad guys to smaller areas. I don't know that it does, but there are fewer places for them to move about with ease today than ever.

More people live better lives today than in the past. There will always be poor people. Some of those poor people will be desperately impoverished. Much of that desperation is caused by their own governments as in Darfur for example.
The good new about the poor is many of them live much better lives than the poor of past generations. Not all of course. There is medical care in places where it didn't exist before, education, farming etc. happens because others saw a need and helped by doing what they could. I do not mean politically. But used what they had, time, talents, resources to help.

Some efforts don't bare much fruit. Some years back Ethiopia had a horrible famine that lasted years. Many countries got together to send food, shelter etc. Italy sent TONS of pasta, nice gesture, but they had no water to cook with.... The famine was a result of a long drought!!

Some people blame guns etc. for the world’s ills. Yes, guns make evil a bit easier I suppose. Again in Africa (I have forgotten the countries involved) Over a couple years a couple HUNDRED THOUSAND people were killed with machetes (big knives). These people could not afford guns....

For now the world seems to accept violence easier than kindness. Strange but true. When the acceptance of violence is dealt with, when is it not OK to hurt someone things will get better.

As it stands now, if you randomly "Hug" someone it can be considered a physical assault and you can be sued and will likely lose in court.
If you kill someone and really promise not to do it again (I am being a bit sarcastic here) but really mean it, you may well walk free on the streets like nothing happened. Violence is more readily accepted than acts of kindness. Neither is understood well. Retalitory violence is understood, not liked, but understood. Kindness with out strings attached is suspect, no matter how real it is.

So what can you do? I mean you personally. Not much? .... Not true!! You can do what you can do. No matter you age or income. You can offer kindness to others, where before you might have offered criticism or nothing at all. You can choose to not to be in the way of another’s efforts. If your home burned to the ground, as you stood there watching it all go up in flames (with no injuries of course) What would really truly HAVE to be replace. What is of such importance, some clothes, a bed, some food, Gameboy system, Xbox.... If you lost it all and could start from scratch, what changes would you make?

Make those changes now.... Don't wait. You extend kindness to someone, who has a good day as a result of your efforts. They in turn do the same. Now two people have simply chosen kindness as a weapon against the ugliness in the world. Those two influence two more daily, then by geometric progression,

Each number represents one calendar day of how many people had one single act of kindness extended their way. Kindness many do not deserve. But how are they to learn to be kind if they don't see it in their own life.

So what does all that mean? Well, you, just you, one day were kind to one person, each day you continued to be kind where you might have offered criticism or nothing before. You extended that kindness each day. Each person you made feel a bit better did the same. Within 30 days.... every single person on the planet has had at least on bit of kindness extended to them. Many have offered up to 30 consecutive days of kindness.

The "experts" have said it take a good three weeks to establish new habits. After three weeks about 1/2 of the worlds population has a new "kindness" habit. But the other half needs more time.

Give them that time by continuing to extend kindness. I don't mean gushing acceptance every harebrained idea out there. Simple basic kindness with no expectation of any kind, not even a thank-you. Just live different life, by choice..... It is contagious. But the rest of us need more time, so don't stop.

It is not a perfect world or a perfect system. Goodness (hugs) cannot be legislated or gained with a gun.

Mathematically the world can be changed for the better in a month.
And for the worse in the blink of an eye. So we know it can't really be done in 30 days. But it can't be done at all if someone doen't start the ball rolling. Will it be you?

I know this is not the perfect answer to your concerns. But it is something one person can choose to do...... What will your choice be and when will you start?
