I love the world as it is. I think you should stop listening to the stories about death and tragedy. Simply enjoy every day that you are alive as best you can.

I do not believe there is such a thing as a perfect world. A perfect world would be nothingness, because it would have no flaws. So long as there is something in the world, there will be light and dark, good and bad, perfection and imperfection. How many days of eternity could you manage where you have nothing but good conversation and think nothing but good thoughts and do nothing but good deeds? Would it not eventually grow boring? The only thing that makes joy joyous is the lack of joy that preceded it. Perfection is nothingness- no ups and no downs. Purity and silence. If nothingness does not appeal to you, then you must accept the world as it is, with its good and its bad.
And part of life is not knowing where you go when you die. You can choose to believe you will go somewhere and give yourself peace, but life does not offer any assurances in that area. It is part of the human condition we must all learn to face, is the uncertainty of death.

Perfection is but a mere idea on how we precieve it. Whether the world will be perfect or not depends on how we view it. Personally, I do not think it will be perfect. It could be considered perfect enough though. Either way it depends on how far you can see into the future and how many factors to consider in making the world a better place.

mark twain once said "I do not fear death for I had been dead for billions upon billions of years before I was born and did not suffer a single inconvenience from it". Do you remember before you were born? was it scary? of course not. don't waste moments of your life fearing death, its out of your control, focus on your actions and attitudes in this moment. if you can accept your death you can live without fear. theres nothing to be afraid of.....ever.
and maybe if you are lucky someday you will see that the world is already perfect and its balance remains intact.
the frailty of man lies in his perception.

I'm no scientist but it's a documented fact that we & our entire planet are fragments of star dust. As far as our existance, I beleive all things must regress back to its earlier form so perhaps you return to shine elsewhere. At any rate, I wouldn't worry so about death. ... Live for today for tomorrow is unknown.

perfection is impossible since man himself is imperfect. the best we can do is strive to make the world as perfect as we can be. it also helps to find the good there IS. think of the rare occasion a complete stranger goes out of their way to help you without expecting anything back. think of the parents in violent inner cities raising good kids who care about going to college instead of going to jail. think of real music being created by real artists, not the canned crap on american idol, disney and def jam. think about the immigrants who get citizenship so they can work their butts off like our grandparents and the rest of us do. try doing as much anonymous good as you can and build up the karma now while you have the chance. peace!

I wouldn't worry about the sun exploding; you'll be crow-bait long before then.
As for death? Well, there's nothing to punish you but yourself, so take it easy.

do you have a religion? reincarnation; heaven; hell (all words which are connected with religion). Believe and you will see!! If you are asking if the human being could make an utopia, the answer is no

The only way for that to happen is the extinction of man.
