Changing the world

The world is always changing, always getting better or worse. In this world of constant change what would you change? How would you do it? Why would you change the world? The world will never stop changing so how do you want it to change?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you think that killing some people to make the world better would work, would you kill them if you had the chance? Or would you imprison them if you could?

I disagree with you I don’t think that people would fall into a society of kill or be killed. If there were no laws today and no police would you go kill someone? Killing people is not something natural to people.

People would be forced to live by their own morals and what they think is right or wrong. If there were no laws I don’t think the rich would be rich for very long because I think that the lower classes of society would start to take what they need because there are no laws to stop them. Without laws a person who is starving can take what they need from someone who has more then they need. There will always be people who abuse this kind of system. But people abuse the system we have now.

Religion was one way to make laws that people would obey but the reason people obeyed the laws was out of fear and that is not why people should follow laws. Someone came up with laws in religions and people follow laws because they seem right. Laws make the world work in harmony but not when they are enforced with fear. People will live in harmony without laws once they understand that braking laws even though they are not enforced make the world fall apart. People will obey laws because they make life better.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
