Wow! Very difficult and deep question. Well our world, our earth has so long been mistreated by us and the result is climate change, which is affecting every one on the face of earth. The fact that some of the most influential people on this earth are so reluctant to believe that that climate change is real just increases the worry. Then there are people who do no appreciate the song ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon and go on waging wars against humanity! On a softer version of worries is that nowadays some people take offence too easily losing the bigger picture that our world is burning, and we need to come together and do our bit to help save it. There is huge disparity in wealth and opportunities in some parts of the world. There are groups of people who, for some distorted fantasies, would torture any human beings and threaten to destroy parts of the world, some types of people who target and cause pain to children- the world being home to such sick people is horribly worrying. Fake news leading to confusion in general public about which news is actually true,- that is worrying. Increase in number of people injuring themselves or dying just for a few hundreds or thousands ‘likes’ from social networks such as Instagram, Twitter or Facebook- that is painfully worrying: so is people changing their online personalities just to be liked by people they don’t even know and who don’t know them.
But there is hope too dear readers. Some of these problems existed even a few decades ago. However people are now more aware of these problems. We are doing our bits and trying our best to make the world healthier than what it is now. Some of the people you already know who are trying to help are for instance Kate is trying her best to help with the climate, Anastasia is trying to help the police solve crimes faster, Adam is trying prevent bridges from falling down, I am trying to help the doctors find diseases faster and treat them faster, the IAS team and your schools for bringing us together for this sort of discussion so that now you too can make informed choices. So even though the health of the world is not optimum some of us are not ready to give up on ourselves and on our world. It is a scary world, I know, but the world is also scared and it needs us to be able to heal.
