Heal the World, Make it a Better Place?

Yesterday BlogTv.sg episode was on the theme 'Does the World Sucks?' and I was thnking, what an interesting General Paper question this would be for Singapore students. Hah!

I had a sudden urge to pen this post on why the World sucks purely because:

1. From a reglious point of view - When Adam and Eve sucummb to tempatation in the Garden of Eden, they were already in for deep S***. That explains why women have to go through the monthly menstrual cramps and endure hours of labour pain while the men have to work their ass to put bread on the table for the family.

2. From a general point of view - In general, human beings are by nature INDIVIDUALISTIC. We live in a world of our own, paying more attention to our love ones rather than strangers on the street. (Tell me honestly, has anyone taken a second look at people who are not close to us??!!) Look at all the environmental and Save-the-World/Earth campaigns that have been established throughout the world. What is the percentage of the population that actually took a interest in all these communities and campaigns whose noble missions and objectives have fell on deaf ears to many?

3. From my point of view - Nobody is perfect in this world. And since nobody's perfect and it is purely because of this imperfection - the world has to suck big time for sure.

Of course, taking a light hearted view on this topic. I guess when one is feeling good and all the good things are on the right track, the world looks good to them. For those who are feeling down and feel that the world owns them a living every minute, the world sucks no matter how hard they try to change the fact.

Taken off from Michael Jackson's song 'Heal the World'
Heal the world,
make it a better place.
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
So if you care enough for the living
(And the man himself was accused of child molestation many years back - DUH. Hey, no offence to his supporters. I love the man too, but what an irony - no wonder the world sucks. (haha)).

I rest my case.
