How can this world be a better world?

[InvestigateTruth]

Do you think, this world that we live in, with all its conditions is How it should be, or it requires a significant change in the culture, beliefs, laws and standards?

To make it clear, this is both in terms of the way the world and countries are lead by their leaders and politicians and Laws, as well as, the cultures, values and standards that defines what is right, and what is wrong in societies.

Kindly, do not give an answer which is politically right. Express how you really feel and believe.

 

[Heyo]

I voted "other". If multiple answers were possible I also could have voted 1st and 3rd option.
I think with #1: "Yes, humanity is fairly on the right path, " and with #3: "There is alot needed to improve this world."
I see a lot of improvement in the past, especially since the enlightenment. So we are on the right track. But I also see a lot of potential to improve.
And, as this is in "Religious Debates", I think the same about religions. Christianity, on average is on the right path by adapting the humanitarian ideas. But some other religion still have that step before them (and Christianity isn't there, yet).

I think it depends on the area.

I believe for the most part secular social democracies are on the correct path, and it would not require significant change to support some minimalist type of world government provided it too was secular, social and democratic in nature.

On the other hand there are regions such as dictatorships and / or theocracies which require substantial overhauls in their value systems as I see it.

Unfortunately it is more likely for the status quo to remain in place for the time being than it is for dictatorships and theocracies to be revolutionised as I see it.

If we were on the right track man made disease, global warming, wars, etc wouldn't be an issue.

If none of these would be an issue then we wouldn't be on any "path". Instead, we would have already arrived at utopian existence.

A path is a way towards something. Not a destination.

^^^^ This.
And that we are on the right path is seen in the facts that slavery is outlawed almost everywhere, infectious diseases are mostly under control, smallpox are even eradicated, we have more democracies than ever and most of those have women's voting rights. We have a UN bill of rights which has been ratified by quite a few countries and some of them even take it serious.
We've come a long way and we have a long way to go.

Why do you want only leftist answers?

Is humanity in the right path?

It depends on what is right. If you want totalitarianism and war, then world is on right path. If you want peace and freedom, then world is not on right path, but this obviously is nowadays far-right idea to say.

Humans will never be on the right path for the world. Humans only care about human needs as a whole. Individually they may find a cause that is beneficial for the world but they will over inflate that cause creating other world problems.

Do you feel morality and ethics declining or inclining in our time?

EMPATHY = Everybody Must Pay Attention To Humanity Yearnings.

Yes.

Put another way, no.

Because the universe, reality, and everything isn't about me and now I think it "should" be is utterly and entirely irrelevant. Humans imposing their vision of "should be" is precisely what causes humanity's own problems. And they will always and inevitably whine about something. Or they can shut up, sit down, and enjoy the beautiful world for what it is right now.

Do you feel morality and ethics declining or inclining in our time?

Neither I feel while human morality and ethics change throughout the centuries it gets neither better nor worse. It is the enforcement of practiced morality/ethics that increases and decreases in a range. Currently enforcement is on the increase worldwide, in my opinion. This becomes a problem as slight offense's become great wars.

As a whole, the path followed is the path with the most profits.

Having the right theory is not sufficient. You need a implementer and a ruler from God. Theory and practice often contradict. People say they believe in x value but then do the opposite.

If people support the leader from God of the time and submit to his authority, everything will be well.

And if people dont listen to the ruler appointed by God, then what?

The only reason they reject him is due to blindness as a result of caprice, that blindness from caprice will flow to other things like them following oppressors who they think are good. They will be in short the cause of bloodshed on earth.

There is no wrong or right path, we are doing just fine.

Then how would He succeed then?

At this rate and condition, he probably won't in the truest sense. Justice will prevail and earth will be filled with it, but not in the ideal sense Mohammad (s) and his family (a) were sent for, not in the sense that people come to it and accept it. More like cities will face destruction and some believers will be saved from every city. The dark prophecies of Quran which were meant to be avoided, seem, almost inevitable at this point.

We can try our best to warn and waken humanity, but it will be probably just cause more to disbelieve and mock.

The Mahdi (a) in terms of miracles will be accused of possession in terms of Aliens/Genies/Tech or some people will accuse him of being a powerful sorcerer.
