Why Do Some People Think They Know What's Good for Others? What Makes the World Dangerous?

Saturday, March 20, 2010
I believe that the nature of the human person consists of two sides: the good and the evil. However, the good side weighs more than the other. People think they can do something good because they can. They do good things, like helping those who are in need, because they give them a sense of fulfillment. Doing so can make him or her feel good about themselves. In addition, the environment is a factor that influences the people to be good because of the moral values that revolves within it. However, there are some circumstances that prevent them from doing good. There are times when they are forced to do bad because it can affect their well-being. For instance, when children disobey the order of the elders, they tend to lie because they don’t want to be reprimanded. People can also do bad things for their benefit.

Conflict is justifiable when people think that what they are fighting for is right or is good for the others. Our world leaders do everything to address the concerns of the people, to end global conflict and violence, because everyone is already affected. They even come to the point wherein they set aside their differences and try to bridge the gap between them and the others. By doing these things, I think that they can somehow end this global concern. Unfortunately, there are others who do not participate in the leaders’ advocacy. How will the global conflict and violence end if these people continue to challenge the world leaders’ orders?

The world leaders can promote peace among all nations by being humble enough and selfless. Like what my classmate Claude said, I think that this is a difficult task for the leaders because this kind of act makes them swallow their pride. But I honestly believe that this is a better solution. In this way, it would be easier for them to reach out to others. Through their humility, they would be able to listen more to the voice of the people, to work together and to understand each other, to resolve their issues. If only all the world leaders will be like this, peace is being achieved.
