The world is currently a mess, it is dying from conflict, pollution and extremism, bit by bit.





Thus we should fix it. Based on the prosperity of humanity as a whole,

there are many ways of achieving this.



The way we should follow right now, is the use of unlimited progression. We should always strive to better ourselves and help others do the same in every way possible. Currently, the best means of achieving it seems to be proper education. But the world’s governments don’t seem to care about it or are not effective enough. Another outside force is needed.

The reason why the world isn’t in it’s best shape right now has to do with rise of negative ideas that are being influenced by fear, anger and dogma while rational thought starts to become less prominent in people's minds.

We must encourage rational thinking by gathering various people from around the world to discuss solutions to world’s problems, while at the same time avoiding “toxic” conversations that go nowhere. The goal should be to refine ideas we shared, not to dismiss them entirely. But keep in mind, all ideas must be pragmatic, not dogmatic.

Democracy for as good as it is has a very fatal weakness. Democratic nations with apathetic societies are doomed to fail. When a lot of citizens are indifferent to serious problems, while not caring for well being of various groups of people, this leads to various freedoms and rights being removed, just so it would be possible to oppress the previously mentioned groups of people and force various ideals onto everyone.

This happened in Nazi Germany, with Hitler being appointed into political power, then slowly deconstructing it. He manipulated the masses into becoming apathetic towards various political groups and ethnicities, making it very easy to pass inhumane laws against them.

Martin Niemöller’s quote on the situation is a prime example on how apathy and division destroys democracy bit by bit:

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me…. and there was no one left to speak for me...”

Many countries, especially third world ones suffer from apathy. With people forcing others to conform to their ideals, political beliefs and views. In order to stop that, empathy and unity is needed. By being empathetic and helping others, you become an example to the same people you help. This leads to more citizens acting more empathetic, them helping more people, then even more civilians become empathetic and before you know it, the country becomes a really calm place to live in.

If you need more examples, just look at the black and woman movements in America during 20th century and how many rich white males also joined in to help the groups, because they were attached to their members and by extension, their cause.

Empathy is a true way of making a prospering democratic body. Switzerland, Finland, Iceland are empathetic towards their civilians and are widely seen as really calm places to live in, even if they don't have a ton of resources.

Being empathetic towards others will also give you lots of wisdom. Helping others is a learning experience, there is no try and proof formula that is able to solve everyone's problems. In order to succeed in helping others, you must learn about them, their ideas, preferences and even philosophy. Being empathetic towards others exposes you to many ideas and challenges the old ones you have. Helping out others is a great tool of becoming wiser.

Just follow a “golden rule”:
