How to Make the World a Better Place

Most of us are too busy working to think of making the world a better place. Then again people who have more money than I do, like Ashton Kutcher, are busy rescuing human trafficking victims. Now, how does one person change the world? It could be as easy as signing up to be a reading tutor. You see, I’ve always wanted to do something more productive with my life besides knowing the pen is mightier than the sword. I don’t go to protests for one, because I do not want an arrest record following me around every time I apply for a job. The thing is that I need more energy to volunteer my time with. I would like more energy anyway, from sleeping the whole night if that becomes possible. I’m caught up with my knee injury from nine years of yoga down the toilet in one second of a bad move on the part of my left foot. I injured myself and that was the last day anybody saw me at the gym for a very long time. I’m not sure if yoga can make the world a better place, but it does calm me down, and has a similar effect on everybody who has ever taken a yoga class before.

Making the world a better place is something each of us can do daily, but our jobs distract us from such a task unless you are a therapist, or social worker or anybody else in a “helping” profession. Sometimes these helpers burn out easily if they help too much. Not everybody can volunteer his or her time, although those on disability could probably do so. I’m trying to get myself stable enough so I can volunteer my time in addition to working a part-time job. But then again I have a firm rule, never get too busy to go to the pharmacy. I have to make sure I keep up with renewing and picking up my prescriptions. But anyway, I’m trying to make sure that I figure out a way to give my future fortune away, albeit without winding up like J.K. Rowling who got booted off the billionaires list. Yes, though, I want to make money selling my business plans. I need my business ideas appraised, but I also have to send them out on USB drives as planned. Can billionaires really make the world a better place if we try? I’m willing to put this assumption to the test. We need to clean up our oceans, use HAARP for the greater good, stop tornadoes from destroying the Midwest every tornado season, stop the Hurricanes from destroying the East Coast every hurricane season, and of course, cleaning up our messes that we self-destructive Earth humans leave on our planet every day.

Having your own blog may be one way to change the world, give or take your readership. Making global changes starts with an individual writing about what they would like to see happen. Not everybody is in a position to make the world a better place like former President Barack Obama was. Any world leader who has the power is in a great situation to make social change happen, depending on their country's values. Not every world leader, however, is the sort of person that needs to make a difference. There are limitations that kind of leader imposes. Not every leader values making a difference as head of state. That is one way to change the world if you can handle the responsibility. Becoming a politician is a way to make a difference, even if your parents were immigrants and some say to send you back.
