The Answer

Having said that (previous post), I actually feel like writing something down.

For long I've engaged all the cells in my brain in trying to solve the problems of the world and I mean ALL the problems including the imminent threat to our existence. The root cause of all problems are Ego and Greed. They are intertwined to a major extent, the difference being that in case of greed you want it all for yourself but in case of ego, if you can't have it no one can.

An ego leads to superiority/inferiority complex which leads to pride/envy which leads to conflict. How the hell is one man superior to another on the basis of skin colour or the geographical location they hail from! WTF?! How can someone sell plots on the Moon when it belongs to me as much as to any other person on this planet (what kind of an idiot buys that stuff anyway)!! Was there a tender put out by God which I'm not aware of?!

Civilisation went the wrong way when some egoistic alpha male declared himself the king and the surrounding area his kingdom and others followed suit. So we had kings and kingdoms and they fought with each other for the same . Then someone won, the kingdom expanded and soon it became too big to handle. People revolted and came up with Democracy, i.e. we will choose our own rulers! Then the new rulers started screwing with the people's lives because people are friggin idiots! Okay, I lost my train of thought, is it still making sense?

Anyway, getting back to the solution. The answer is to SHARE. Forget all borders, states, countries, continents etc (in a manner that would still leave scope for an India vs Pakistan cricket match and a Chelsea vs Liverpool football match). This is just one big world and everyone is human (technically). You remove all the borders and discrimination and stuff and things would be a lot better. For eg., look at the size-population ratio of USA and India, let's balance it out. Pick up a huge chunk of the Indian population and ship their asses to America. They have enough space and we have way more than enough people over here. An even spread! Brilliant isn't it?

Think about others. Don't just think about yourself. If everyone starts thinking and caring about everyone else, then things would become a lot easier. Don't stop your car in the middle of the road to drop the fellow passenger right in front of his destination, when there is a mile long queue of cars behind you honking and hollering at you to get your ass off the road. You could be in that queue too and you won't like it. Why do something to someone that you wouldn't like to be done to you? The others are just like you too.

Then take all the weapons in the world and get rid of them! ALL OF THEM! If the bad guys don't have anything, what do the guys need them for. There are loopholes I agree but this is the general idea. I guess this needs some more brain-cell time to figure out the perfect way to have a world without war.

That's about all I can think of right now. I'm sure there are a few more. Will add as soon as they come to mind.

Peace out.

the sad part is that its all "theoretically possible"...or is nothing impossible? will u stand up to be our hero?

hmmm..how much does it pay?

ego, greed, all these things are part of human nature, without vices humans wud be an incredibly boring race ;)...i can give u an example, will u believe me if i say a utopian world exists right here on earth? one where all its beings follow the perfect order and laws?....the answer is the insect world, ants and bees in particular. but they havn't created wonders because they lack the very basic basic emotions (including ego and others "evil" things) which drove man to create brilliant things. most of the inventions are from neccesities derived from war (e.g. the internet)

well this is one way of trespassing the boundaries that man has created... share ur ideas across the world... its a change which comes very hard and gradual but it does fruits finally...
n one doesnt have to be a hero to do do better in life... one has to be a good human being :)
