The world would be a better place when...

There was a chapter in a book I read lately about the thoughts of a writer explaining how amazing the world would be without poverty...everyone earning and living for themselves without the dependence of the government and non-government organizations to help them because they won't need them.

So this really got me thinking, because poverty isn't the root problem. It's the people who exploit other people because of greed that makes them poor. People can be so selfish. They are completely inhumane when they steal someone's rightful possessions because of their greed. Because for many of the exploited people, that could've been all that they had, all that they could be happy about. And greedy people? Well, they just have their hearts in stone....can't empathize with anybody.

I think, the world would be an amazing place without greed, selfishness and ignorant people. And when I say ignorant people, I don't mean illiterate people because there are so many literate, well-educated people I see around me who have never used their heart to go and help out someone in need. Ignorant people are the ones who'll always believe in the lies that come from the dark creepy corners of cold-souls lusting to deceive someone. Ignorant people are the people who are gullible, they'll just listen to what they think is right without knowing otherwise even if their beliefs have terrible destructive consequences to both themselves and society.

Selfishness is something I don't think I need elaborate much on. Selfish people are everywhere these days. Some people deeply desire power to further fulfill their selfish ambitions in life. For example, the people who aspire to be in big offices and companies in high job positions just so that they have someone below the social stratification to yell at daily. When selfish people get into power, the poor become poorer and the rich become richer because they are the same people who can never think about anyone other than themselves so they don't mind cutting your salary while they petition for a fourth salary rise in this year to their bosses.

And finally greedy people. I think selfishness and greed are two sides of the same coin, because selfish, self-absorbed people are generally really greedy for power, wealth, exploiting others and destroying trust within members of their family and society as a whole.

The world would be a better place when people with soft, loving, generous, humane and kind hearts come into power, being treated not as a oddball in this world, but as the world's true citizen. After all, the world was made and is protected by God from complete doom because of these seemingly few diamonds of people.
And that world would also be a world without poverty, each of its members helping out each other and living in harmony.
