What would we say, if the entire world were listening? What would we say if we had only a short moment to let the universe know what we would like to see in the future? If I had this opportunity, I would say that, in order for the world to be acceptable by anyone, it must be respected by everyone. People nowadays are battling others because of history they never actually saw, experiences they never knew, and lies they never considered. To fix the wrongs of ancestors past and to protect the future we think of so dearly, we must all forget what happened in our history. Yet, this won't ever happen, for we are too arrogant. If all the people in the world had their minds erased of all stereotypes, all experiences, all human history, and all lies and betrayal they have ever had the misfortune of being on the bad side of, frankly, we would be kids once more, uninfluenced by the negativity we see in the world today, and would, subsequently, automatically respect those around us. We wouldn't see hatred of others anymore, for we wouldn't know how to hate yet and hadn't had that experience. This mind-erase theory would be great, but it would only take one person to mess things up. All people in the world are born to create. Somewhere down our ancestor's road, someone was a little too mischievous, and had Ideas of killing, and hating. These ideas spread and tainted the pure minds of the people he knew. From that one person, stemmed maybe thousands of years of human fighting, battling, and disrespecting. This is only a hypothesis, though, and what sort of shame this person would have if he were to confront the modern world. The important words I would say in front of the whole world would be to respect one another, and to put aside the past, to create a better living environment in the future.
