I think it would be nice if there was no suffering in the world, but pain is just part of living. I wish people wouldn't exploit one another, but humans are predatory animals by nature. A benevolent god might be nice, but it would take the significance out of being kind to one another. There is plenty of darkness in the world, but without darkness, the light would lose all meaning.

I wish I could change things about the world, but I can't. I don't have any real influence over the world or society as a whole. I could wish and hope, but I'm better off trying to change the things I have some control over. Honestly, I don't know whether or not imposing my ideals over the entire world would be a good idea. For the most part, I try not to worry about things I can't change. Caring about problems I can't change will just frustrate me further. That doesn't mean I'm happy with the state of the world, just that I have to make do with what already exists.

I want to live a quiet life. I want the people I care about to be happy. These things I feel like I can at least work towards.
