<title>More knols on changing the world</title>
<description>We keep hearing people everywhere talk about changing everywhere we look. One special condition in this case is that, no matter how long we keep hearing about changing the world, it will never become a cliche, until we actually succeed in changing the world. The calls to change the world are akin to desire for sex and food, in that even though it has been around for eons of time, it is still extremely necessary to our survival as a people. Anyone who doesn't feel that the world needs changing should take a look at the headlines from around the world, and look right in their own backyard to see what's going on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This brings me to my first step in changing the world, which is that the first requirement in changing the world is to get utterly fed up with the status quo. Until we are tired of the suffering befalling us and our fellow human beings, we will never get off our complacent bottoms to make any changes. This being said, I believe it is appropriate to shed some light on some of the possible causes for the present state of things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to technology, we have managed to extract, refine, and create enough resources to satisfy the needs of everyone living the world, but there is still plenty of lack. The problem is uneven distribution of resources, which is caused by the greed prevalent in our modern society. Think of how often you hear money talk, and then try to estimate how often the line of speaking was about doing charitable work - rarely. Its mainly 'save' and 'invest' (which are very wise), but then there's the selfish 'spend', 'buy this TV', 'take a vacation here', and other indulgent uses of money. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing is wrong with a little self-gratification, but shouldn't there also be some altruism thrown in there too. Think about it. Shouldn't we help our fellow human being while enjoying ourselves?&amp;nbsp; We might say 'well we earned it and its ours'. This is absolutely true, and I congratulate the honest earners for all their hardwork and productivity. But let us also remember that the platform on which we are able to earn these large sums of money is blessing to us, which we as the masses cannot take credit for. We have a stable government and a prosperous economy (which despite its downturn is still the richest in the world), which lets us earn and spend freely. Wouldn't it be nice if we could extend a helping hand to others to help them acheive similarly prosperous structures? This way, we would have partners in progress who would in return aid us in our pursuit of hapiness. This kind of cooperation is what we need to make a stable world, which would be more secure for everybody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;These steps seem like they are the business of the government, the diplomats and the foreign-policy makers. But who is the government, if not you and I? It's a democracy isn't it? We are the government, and we choose who amongst us get to hold the seats as executors of our powers. The government responds to the needs of the people, and if the people continually make heavy demands for consumption to satisfy themselves, the the government will follow suit and make policies that guarantee the country's economic leverage, even if it means playing dirty international politics, and refusing to help other countries get out of poverty, so there will be continuous supply of cheap labor to produce the demands of its people's huge appetites. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we as a people curb our greed, the by a domino effect, we will notice more fairness and compassion in our leaders, since they no longer need to propagate unsympathetic policies in order to satisfy us. It might take a while, but I have some hope based on recent trends of compassion and discretion, that we will gradually grow ourselves a heart and become our brother's keepers, which will in turn make our brothers better capable of helping us out. In the end, everybody is better off. I believe this can be somehow related to the &lt;em&gt;Nash Equilibrium&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail.enterto.com/signup.html&quot;&gt;spam free email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Click Below to discover and share content from anywhere on the web&lt;br /&gt; &lt;script src=&quot;http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</description>
