The proper way to fix the world isn't to fix the world

You know what is silly? Really young guys, some are not yet to reach twenty talking about how the world should work. And when it doesn't work the way they want, they shout "corruption'' and "injustice.'' Yet perhaps it has never occurred to them that life is not that simple. Because if it were then maybe they would be living in a Utopia right now.
It is no help for youths to be cynical about the ways of the world. The society is not just malevolent but can also be benevolent.
People who see life as a game where everyone is for themselves is not completely wrong. They are only partially right. They are right that people generally aim for their best interest. But they fail to realize that most of the time, individual gains does not mean the loss of society.
Why is this the case? The society is basically a connected web of common interests. That web, in a way, gives us a much easier time sustaining our lives. It provides us with the power that we use, the water for our living activities, and the security that we often take for granted. Even the internet is a feat of unprecedented social-economic development of the human race.
In an essence, the society does not seek out to exploit you. It just asks you to carry your load and it would be delusional for you to think otherwise. Without the help of society, you would still be chasing mammoths and worrying about whether the next caveman is trying to crush your head and take your stuff.
Does it mean that society is perfect? No! Far from it. What I am saying is that you are probably don't know how to fix it. As doctor Jordan B.Peterson once said: "The best way to fix the world isn't to fix the world". The best way to fix the world is to start working on yourself.
Life is not a zero-sum game where you can just either win or lose. It has been developed so that we can all sit in a room working without going for each other's throats. We should appreciate that rather than going on about how it is corrupted and evil.

Hey The Vanguard, that’s a nice topic to post. You’re doing a great job 👍!
After seeing your and others’ points of view, I’ve changed my mind a lot, but evetually I just wanted to appreciate your sharing the post, but leaving no disagreement with non of you.
Why?
‘Cz I learned all your idea without any doubts, so I found out that you guys didn’t really have a confict, though. Instead, it is the matter of fact that which idea is way more important to you than the other one. In fact, one side wants to improve themselves first then they would think something [far from reality, I guess they would think] like changing the world later if it’s possible. The other one, otherwise, wants to highlight their purpose right away: changing the world rather than thinking if they are knowledgeable enough to make any judges.
In short, I think you guys can learn a lot from others as I did! Now I learn why I have to cope with the reality from The Vanguard and why I have to keep my hope aside.
Hope you guys can be patient and try to understand each other.

Better move this to English section :))
The world always changes, while it may become better, there is no end to it. We just have to improve little by little and ensure that every step is better than the last one. It just need to be better, no need to become the best.

As I said before, don't worry about fixing the world. We are too small and humble to do anything just yet. The only way to fix the world is to start fixing ourselves so that we become more competent then we can start influencing the world.

The world has been fixing itself through years. People, grouped up and form the government to develop themselves, from anarchy to Democracy, Republic, and others. It is not correct to say that we all have to fix ourselves, because what fixed and developed ourselves came from us trying to change the world. It's like how Capitalism and Communism spread the thoughts.
On another hand, looking back at how the African Americans in the U.S. fought for their rights. They were made to work, they were tortured, did some try to fill into the situation and just live on with it? Yes, some did, but some also moved on to changing the society, not him/her self. If I have an idea, why don't I try? Why do I have to fit into a society I myself don't belong to.

The world fixes itself because humans change through generations. If people just go out there being all self-righteous, thinking that they can change anything with their own hands while they are just 18 or 20 will just burn us all to the ground. I don't say that don't do anything. What I said is that maybe you are not good enough to change the world. Protesting and moaning is not the way to change the world for the better. But if you have an idea that you can work on that is not blaming other people for the problems that you see then go right ahead. If not, it is better that you focus on yourself.
