What does the world need to make it a better place to live in?

Question

(I can think of many things)

Answer 1

Once a warrior asked a monk: "What is the difference between heaven and hell?" The monk replied: "You ignorant brute, you are nothing but a savage. Why would I waste my time on you?"

Filled with anger and hatred, the warrior started beating the monk. After a few minutes, the warrior realised what a heinous act he was committing and stopped.

The monk smiled and said: "That fit of anger is hell". The warrior was so ashamed of his violent act that he begged the monk to forgive him.

The monk again smiled and said: "Your asking for forgiveness is heaven".

The parents of a child who was killed spent every waking hour to see that the person responsible was punished.

It was found that the criminal was barely 18 years of age. Then, one day, they realised that they had spent many years in this state of anger.

Not only had they lost their child but their lives were also being lost to anger and hatred. One day, they did the unthinkable.

They decided to forgive the person who had committed the crime. They went to prison where the boy was incarcerated and told him they had forgiven him.

They also met his parents and realised that they too were suffering because of what their son had done. Instead of feeling anger, they felt compassion for the boy's parents, who, in a way, had also lost their son.

By forgiving the boy and his family, the parents experienced a tremendous release from their pain. A great burden had lifted from their hearts....
The person who committed the crime was also moved by their forgiveness and was transformed by their love. The parents realised through forgiveness, they had saved their own lives from further deterioration.

Their health improved, they were able to function again, and they felt the love of God flow through them. Forgiving others can benefit us physically, mentally and spiritually.

First of all feelings of anger, hatred and vengeance cause damage to the physical body. Secondly, there is a karmic price one must pay when one is filled with anger and hatred.

If we know this, we may think twice before sending out the boomerang of anger.

Thirdly, when we act out of anger, we may set in motion a chain of violence from which we find it hard to escape, resulting in an even worse situation than the original injury.

The password to God's abode is love. God is love and only love can reside in God's domain. Thus, for us to be fit to re-enter our eternal home, we must become all love. Anger and hatred are alien to the land of God.

Forgiveness is the remedy for anger and this will help us re-enter the domain of the Lord. There are many spiritual benefits to practising forgiveness.

First, we experience improvement in our meditation. We know how difficult it is to still the mind, we can maintain a calm mind by forgiving others as it brings spiritual benefits.

Forgiveness decreases our karmic load. Because anger and hatred increase our karmic load; each day that we control our negative qualities is a day that we are lessening that load.

Forgiveness is a good detergent to purify ourselves of karmic debts. Finally, one of the greatest benefits of forgiveness is that we become examples for others.

Love and forgiveness inspire others to love and make the world a peaceful place. If we learn the art of forgiveness, we can transform our life and achieve our goal of self-knowledge and God-realisation.

Answer 2

I think what we need is an economic system that does not value just bottom line results. Yes, capitalism might be the best way to distribute resources, but I think that the economists are framing the question the wrong way. We are well aware that we live on a planet with scarce resources and we consume a lot of junk. I think we need to make preservation of the natural environment one of our top priorities. Also, I think we need to make sustainable development our goal. I believe that everyone in the world needs safe access to drinking water and basic education. Basic education would help alleviate a lot of the conflicts that lead to so much suffering around the world. In developed economies I think it would help if we spent more time in education on studying some of the classic schools of thought from centuries ago that provided sound reasoning skills. People want to tackle "issues" to solve the world's problems, but the real issues are with the people themselves, their attitudes towards one another and their relationships with their environment.
