Hello dear friends of steemit, this is 
Today in the World, we have people killing each other, we hear of massive shootouts where a gun man goes out and publicly opens fire on innocent civilians, we have leaders who have become dictators to the very people who elected them into their positions, we have sexual abusers, racists and crimes beyond our wildest imaginations but one question we all ask is Why all these problems and chaos in the world? What is the cause of all these problems and difficulties in the World?
The answer is very simple and right there infront of us but we just ignore it. The source of all problems mankind is facing is because of "LACK OF GENUINE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER".
Right from the very start man has always put himself first before others, loving himself more than others, making everything center around him and him alone. There is your answer, lack of love for one another. LOVE has always and continues to be the missing and necessary quality needed for a peaceful, loving and prosperous living. Man has lost it, today, everybody is concerned only about himself and life centered only around himself.
The only reason a leader will sit down and watch his soldiers brutalize his people that disagree with him os because he does not love or put them first which is his primary duty but instead puts himself beforw all others, the reason why a man will stand up and raise his hand against another is because he has no love for his fellow man, the only reason why a man will hate another because of the colour of their skin is all directed towards lack of love for the other person. Tell me any problem that is not related to this amazing short word "LOVE".
In the bible, we have an example of a good leader King Solomon who was asked by the Lord to ask anything and it will be given him. He was a man like us who could have asked for more power to subdue his enemies or other nations which i guess will be the request of the leaders of the world today who are so power crazy but he placed his people first and asked for wisdom to better rule them justly. This is an example of a leader that loved his people and wanted the best for them and he proved it by putting them first. Most of the world's leaders claim to always put the people first but examining their actions you see a group of selfish, greedy and power hungry people that only have their interest at hand. How do leaders that rather watch poor innocent children go hungry, make people homeless, make 75% of the population unemployed and rather see their accounts grow through embezzlement of state funds meant to help the people claim to love and put their people first. The Love is not there, they prefer to make a name for themselves than the nation they represent.
It is quite painful to see the sufferings, tears, pain, sorrow, misery and lives that have been lost in the world, which could have been preserved if we loved one another. Lack of Love is the problem and the solution is Love.
A great man said" the greatest commandment is to love your God and neighbour".
If mankind could follow just these commandment, do you know we will live peacefully, no crimes and prosperity will be maintained in our world. It looks absurd but it's true because if you love your neighbour to the extent that you will Lay down your own life for him, then why will you ever think of hurting or bringing harm to him?
If only we can put others first before ourselves and consider how our actions affect the people around us then we will have a better world than what we have now.
What we need to make the world better is not more money, low cost of living, advancement in technology, development of nuclear weapons etc but practical LOVE amongst human beings.
Is that not what makes us humans in the first place? Our ability to feel and if we have no feelings for one another, how are we better than animals? LOVE the answer to the problems of the world and it all comes down to us to start the move. It starts with you as an individual. Carry love with you everywhere you go, where there are tears put smiles, where one is down give a hand, where one is in need give, show empathy where it is needed, be a light to all those around you and that is you changing the world. You don't need to be very rich, imfluential, popular to do it but all it takes is your ability to love and show it.
They say "you cannot give something you don't have". As humans, we are unable to love on our own, we need to go back to the source of pure and true love. Until you find him and he fills you with it, you will just try on your own and fail.
Now you know how to change the World and the question now is WILL YOI DO SOMETHING WITH WHAT YOU KNOW?
N/B: GOD IS LOVE
