Yes I do believe that most people out there are wanting to push for "reducing suffering" as I don't see why any one would purposefully want another person to suffer
Which Is also what I believe most If not all of the traditional religious beliefs are all talking about making and finding and teaching the ultimate happiness no matter if its heaven or nirvana or what ever it may be
But what I am truly getting to is
Something impossible impractical
I want yo turn our world over I want people to stop living in the past stop lining in their mistakes and suffering for the mistakes that other people made
I want our world to move on and everyone to give each other a second chance everyone to give themselv a second chance
I hope our world can destroy boundaries
National boundaries
Cultural boundaries
Racial boundaries
Gender boundaries
And cooperate to live in this country that I know as earth
I am setting this as my goal in life
I know it sound dumb and stupid impractical as it obviously looks
But I believe
I believe that you. Can believe
I believe that every single person in this community an believe
But first
I need to idemtify the source of problems and the things that people generally view as reasonable
To me it's not keeping good and kicking bad
That's too subjective
I'm looking for something objective
And in order to do so
We need to learn to control but not to remove our emotions
As to me emotions is a double edge blade
It can make impossible happen in both good and bad ways
So pretty much in total
I would like to seek advise or is it advice
I need help
I need support
Indeed criticism
I need evidence
I need everything I can fet my hands on but in the end
It's not about me but about you and the future of our humanity
Whether we could make it a better place
I could always choose to just live my own life and ignore this
But I care for crying out loud
I are
I believe
I trust in that human beings are capable of performing at their best if given a chance

In terms of data with respect to poverty, hardship, infant mortality, illiteracy, and so forth, one place with great data available easily online that displays these measures for almost all countries is the World Bank.
Maybe I am thinking of the United Nations data base.
Have you visited those websites?
I do not know the best resource for data about environmental degradation.
If you are interested in starting to work on these issues other than by talking to peers and so forth about your emerging philosophy and goals, there are a few interesting websites that may allow you to start working collaboratively with others on concrete problems. I like OpenIDEO for the way they bring hundreds of people into generating options for making progress on real issues.
Another site, which is more oriented to sharing what people are doing and advising each other than to specific collaborative action is the Human Centered Design community.
There are many other options as well, but these might make a good entry point for you if you are interested in action.

Yes I understand my concept is a bit TOO ... "liquid, it has no substance as of yet, and I am trying to SEEK substance to apply to my concept"
What i mean is.. like a chinese proverb "you are curing the stem but not the root" for example you cut a grass... and it will grow back later
I understand the problems with poverty, hardship, infant mortality, illiterac
OK, let me give you an example...
Do you think it is true "charity" to be feeding the poor people in Africa?
I will leave this as an open ended question.. but let me address this point
If you keep feeding people, they will become dependent on you
Is... "trash recycling" a true "JOB?"
"WHY cant they grow their own food?"
"WHY is their country in such beat up shape? ... are they BORN to be like that?"
Other than this... I would like to share what I have concluded.. or not concluded but reached an analysis on...
a big problem with our world... once again "THE DOUBLE EDGE BLADE"
one word
DEBT
Though I'm not christian but if everyone in the world was in the same faith then
"What is prohibited in Deuteronomy 15:1-7 and Deuteronomy 23 is interest on any loan, in any form, that has been extended to a poor brother in the faith. It is perfectly all right to lend at interest to someone not in the faith."
"The Mosaic law prohibited interest on a narrow class of loans: charitable loans "
Ok, no more talking about the bible and for some modern day concepts,
PEOPLE LIVE ON DEBT and that is a fact, people depend on it, our world wouldn't work without it
But, as i read somewhere, the only place without interest payment loans is in native cultures?
Ok, if that is so.... just CONCEPTUALLY
is it possible to
1st UNITE OUR WORLD
2nd "REDISTRIBUTE LAND" (i will talk about this further in the future)
3rd MAKE "SMALL tribes... SOCIAL tribes..."
4th.. I DONT KNOW
THIS is where I am stuck at
of course i would like to support the "Green movement" I would like to go against "child labor"
