What can we do about the world?
Tonight, I got the rare opportunity to sit down and watch some news after a lengthy work day.
Civil unrest in the Middle East. Flooding in North Dakota. Corporations trying to bribe government officials to look the other way while they commit heinous crimes against the planet.
It’s a crazy world out there, and it doesn’t seem to improve.
So what can we do to fix the world around us?
That’s a really good question—I’d love to hear some thoughts from people who know far more than I do on this topic. I have friends who get involved in letter-writing, protesting and lobbying in other ways for the causes that are important to them. I know that in other parts of the world, people often die for causes because they mean that much to them.
Are we capable of fixing the world here in North America? Can we work back our collective apathy and fixation on our continental issues to see what else is happening in the world?
And how do we do it?
Do we volunteer more? Do we go around the world to help others in volatile areas? Or perhaps we band together and try to tackle these issues through power in numbers?
Consider this the question of the day—while I go ponder it in bed, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Maybe we can even find ways to make some of them happen!
Looking forward to it,
