Seems pretty obvious to me...

There are humans on it. Lots of humans.

Deport the lot of us, send us away, let the planet heal itself...

Hopefully the next time it comes up with an intelligent species it won't be quite so destructive...

Deport to where though?

Oh, I'm sure there much be some other dimension or habitable planet... Just create a wormhole or something, use your imagination...

Kindness

The quiet whisper of thanks

The honest reply of 'I'm not okay'

Kindness

Kindness

The hugging of friends

The empathy of wanting to help

Kindness

Kindness

The picking up of trash

The simplicity of giving

Kindness

Kindness

The cleaning up around you

The golden, loving heart

Kindness

Kindness

Sometimes I wonder

If anyone has any at all

Kindness

Kindness

But then I see the small boy

Picking up after his little sister

Kindness

Kindness

The tired girl

Helping the old man

Kindness

Kindness

The spent mother giving

To the homeless by her work

Kindness

Kindness

But if everyone gave a little bit

And helped a little more

Kindness

Kindness

Maybe we'd find a will

To live a little longer

Kindness

Kindness

Will be our defeat

Or will it be our saving grace?

Kindness

The biggest problem my eyes can see

Is that I think I, alone, can fix it, me

I know, I'm sure, most certainly

Things would be better, if only

He would do that and she this

If I were in charge, I got my wish,

But, could it be?

Ego and vanity

Lack of humanity

That I just might NOT know it all

Maybe it's good that it's not my call

Perhaps a listener is needed most to assess

Determine need, then humbly address

So that one is not more important than another

Maybe then we'll have community, love each other

Work together to fix and praise

Value good and growth always

You. I. The voice in my head, or the voice in your head, the one that screams in terror when you see someone get shot. On the street. On tv. Within arms reach, and maybe you should have done something about it, but mama always told you that other people are not your priority. It’s just you and your sister growing up -- in poverty. How can you sustain yourself, contain yourself, constrain yourself, when every day you must evade yourself wading just above these emotions that threaten to swallow you in your entirety? This poverty, it’s financial, but it’s also circumstantial, it’s everything your parents never could afford to present you. It’s more like circus acts where the actors are spineless and shoulderless. Malleable with nothing to cry on. Only after they were down to their last dollar did they sell their souls and move in circles around the US. In spite of everything, they learned acrobatics and to shimmy and shake their way through the matrix. The spotlight has shifted and it’s up to us to show we’re gifted, but maybe to do that we need to exit through the back flap of the tent we invented, turn to our friend and tell them to put down the gun. Surviving doesn’t mean you’ve won.

I think one of the biggest problems is being overwhelmed by how many problems there are in this world. The second part of that is being unmotivated by being overwhelmed, so nothing ever gets done to fix these problems. I often find that media/news/society tends to overwhelm the mass public with these issues, and while it's great to be informed... you can only do so much before collapsing from the weight of it all. I constantly hear from friends via facebook or other forms of social media, that if you don't do anything about "such and such" then you don't really care about the issue. The thing is I do care, most people do care, it's just we only have so many hours in the day to take care of the problems that concern us the most. The most effective people are ones that fight one issue at a time, and stay focused on that problem until it is resolved. Perhaps if every person was motivated to pick a problem and focus on fixing it before being distracted and overwhelmed by 5 different other issues, we'd have less indifference, less stress, more productivity, possibly help deal with symptoms of anxiety/depression etc. Perhaps I'm being too analytical here, but I guess what I'm trying to is, the best ways to fix bigger issues in the world is to fix the problems within and around your circle first. Almost like a muscle, you have to work it out by starting small and work your way up to heavier weights. Only then can you begin to see results from your efforts.

The biggest problem in this world is a point of view. Everybody tends to see the world from their own point of view. They knowingly or unknowingly try to fit everyone in their own world. Here is an example of what happens when an editor is highly covered by their own point of view

Writers Write:

A saint was traveling on the way. A little boy looked at him innocently. Saint stopped and the boy hesitantly asked a question, "Where are you going?" Saint smiled and answered, "I am searching for a living being." The boy becomes wired and said confidently, "But you can see so many living people in the community." Saint smiled, took the boy in his arm, and said, "All of them are not living. They are living on a fixed point of view. Living being keeps on changing their views. I am looking for the people living in the real sense like you."

Editor comments:

This piece is reminiscent of a Buddhist teaching story I’ve heard. However, I think it needs a bit more depth. Why, for instance, does “Saint” think that the boy is truly living? Nothing the reader sees marks the boy as special. And what does it mean for the Saint that he has now found what he’s looking for — someone truly alive, like the boy? What was he going to do once he found what he was looking for?

Writer replies:

Thank you, editor, for comments. I realize that I put a cover (That reader are expected to uncover) was harder or thicker than your expectations.

Here the editor is expecting more depth whereas he/she was unable to uncover a simple depth. He/she quickly prepared own story from own point of view and made comments on own story. It did not reach to readers. Is not it the biggest problem?

"Some men want to watch the world burn."

Humanity has now taken a turn.

Roses wilted;

So did Tulips and Fern

As did the hearts of humans,

Love didn't return.

Some say,"The culprit is terrorism!"

Others say,"No! It's rascism!"

I say it's the hearts of humans.

Once upon a time, the youth asked,"What is love?'

Now, they ask where is it.

A wise man answered,"It's God's gift. We aren't using it!"

Selfishness is the end of the world,

Kindness is killed.

Cruel are this world's inhabitants,

Use love. DON'T WASTE IT!

One of the most disturbing trends I've noticed in our society, especially among my generation is a lack of willingness to take responsibility for one's own actions.

In today's day and age it always seems to be someone else's fault. Each president blames the president before them for our nation's problems. A failing company's CEO blames prior leadership for his company's shortcomings. And parents even blame their parents for how they're parenting their own children.

No one seems willing to accept or even acknowledge their own role and responsibility in their current state. It's always someone's else fault. Or even in the rare case in which someone acknowledges a poor decision or a wrongful act. They couldn't help themselves because that's how they were raised or how that's how society has taught them to think.

We love to think of ourselves as "individuals", or "special", or "beautiful in our own ways". Until we do something wrong or stupid and then it's society's fault.

"Social media makes it so hard to be faithful now". "I wish I didn't have my Dad's temper". Or my personal favorite..."But I was drunk..."

Rarely do you hear, "That was completely my fault. I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry and I want to do whatever I can to make this right."

To be clear, saying you're sorry doesn't make it right. Even taking responsibility doesn't erase a mistake or right a wrong. But it's a start. It's at least trying to make it right. It's far better than trying to shift the blame and hope it all just disappears and you can move on and feel better about yourself.

Shifting the blame never erases the guilt. It never makes the responsibility go away. Guilt must be faced and dealt with. And responsibility must be sought out and claimed. Because if you don't claim it, no one else will.
