I don't think that we are here to change the world as much as we are to be a part of it. We are no different then any other creatures or anything living like trees.
However changing the world for the good is up to us. If we could all work together we can make it better. A great place to start is for the world to have the biggest group hug ever and get off this we are better kick.
Remember, change starts with you.

Well, you're here to make your mark & leave the world a better place than you left it, so certainly there are things you might want to change for the better but the beautiful things about the world should not be changed or tampered with.

The world was perfect at one point.. Well now I think we have clean up on planet Earth! First we must change one mind, then a community, then the county, then the state, then the USA, then the world. Where are you? I know that I am struggling somewhere near the one mind.

You can. Knock yourself out.
Changing others is a pointless endeavour. When we learn what we do have control over in life, the quality of our life improves.
You have no power where I am concerned. You could spend your life trying to change me to change the world and I can guarantee that your efforts will fail.
It is your time and your life and it is up to you decide how you will spend that time.

"the best use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it" william james
the sentiment is to try (while u can and while u are here) to leave the world in a better place than when you found it.

Our being here will change the world as much as fewer trees or shallow oceans would change the world.

Where did you get that from ? You are here to exist in the world, your very presence changes the world in a small and imperceptible way.

You may change it if you'd like, for the better I hope.
But we are not here for any particular reason.

Religion would show you your purpose in this life.
