“If you could change the world, how would you change it?” This is a very common question most if not all will get asked at least once in their life. How would I change the world? That I can’t answer yet. I don’t know all of the situations, let alone the solutions. I’d need a rough count of my whole life to figure out what should be changed and how it would affect those would have to live through it. Something I dislike about this world is that I can’t make everyone happy. If I could please everyone, don’t you think there would be fewer crimes and suicide. I’m thinking of so many good effects from this, but how could I? How can I make so many people happy without making so many upset at the same time? Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I can’t decide how to make the world better. It’s not really the world that needs to be changed. It’s the people and the way that they think that should change, but how can we make them see their harms? Sure, we could change some of them. Not all of them though. It’s not our job to do that either. We are responsible for our ownselves. We aren’t even responsible for the ones we love. How are we supposed to change the world? How are we supposed to change the people? We’re not supposed to. I’m not saying that we can’t help change it, but somewhere there will always be something wrong. I can change the world. No one can. Not the way everyone wants to. This is simply just how I see it.

This is a good message for young college kids. Sometimes they feel like the world expects them to solve all of its problems when “saving the world” as a concept is way too complicated for one person to face. Thanks for sharing!
The next generation does get asked this question a lot, but try this: next time someone (usually of an older generation) asks you “if you could change the world, how would you change it” ask them, “in your time in the world, how have you changed it?”
I enjoy the concept here; I thought of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” as I read it. Nice to hear your thoughts!
Ah, thank you for your advice.
