W1: The World I Want to Live

 A World Shaped by Values

Respect, empathy, equality, and shared responsibility are the fundamental human principles that underpin everything in my idealised world. These are not merely catchphrases; rather, they form the basis of our way of life, decision-making, and interpersonal interactions. There are few but important laws: treat everyone with respect, preserve the environment, and prioritise cooperation over conflict. Hierarchies that are unfair have no place here. Everyone is not only welcomed, but also celebrated, regardless of their origin, gender, colour, or religion.

Leadership in this world isn't about power or popularity. Leaders are selected based on their capacity for humility, unity, and listening. Safe housing, healthcare, and education are rights, not privileges. Your future is not determined by money. Rather, the way forward is illuminated by your generosity, enthusiasm, and purpose.

A Glimpse Into This World

Local artists have painted murals on structures that depict tales of resiliency and optimism. Fresh flowers and veggies grow in rooftop gardens that are cared after by neighbours of all ages. Instead of dividing people with walls or gates, parks and open spaces bring people together. No sirens blaring through the night, only the free flow of music, laughter, and conversation.

Everyone in my neighbourhood smiles when they greet one another. Children are playing and learning while elders sit on benches. Eco-friendly, clean-energy-powered homes are made with comfort and communal living in mind. Help is always available by having a conversation, and libraries never close.


Living in Kindness

In this world, being kind is not uncommon; it is a part of daily existence. There are no hesitations or questions when it comes to helping a stranger. Children are raised in non-bullying situations not because of fear but rather because they are taught how to handle disagreements amicably from a young age. Just as much emphasis is placed on mental health as on physical health. When someone is struggling, the answer should be one of empathy, concern, and support rather than shame.

There is no crime because the desires of individuals are satisfied, not because they fear punishment. They experience safety, affection, and visibility. Injustice and suffering are dealt with at their source before they become issues. The community comes together to support someone who is in pain.

Who Protects Justice?

Justice is a common duty in this idealised society, not the domain of a chosen few. Trained community listeners in every neighbourhood resolve disputes, assist those in need, and make sure everyone's voice is heard. The spotlight placed on prevention, care, and community healing eliminates the need for traditional police systems. People of all ages participate in inclusive town meetings where decisions are made jointly, and technology aids in ensuring transparency and justice.

Why This World Matters to Me

My roots—my family's history—are the source of this vision. My grandparents told me about their struggles: my grandfather had to work as a child to support his family, and my grandmother was denied an education because she was a girl. I was shaped by these tales. They made me aware of the extent of injustice that individuals have faced and continue to face.

For the future, I want something different. Fairness should be the rule rather than the exception in the world my brothers, cousins, and future children will grow up in. a society in which nobody is left behind and no child may endure hunger or fear as they grow up. I honour my family's hardships and safeguard future generations by pursuing my aspiration.

What Stops This From Being Real?

Naturally, there are still barriers in the form of fear, greed, and institutions that favour a select few at the expense of the majority. Race, geography, and wealth are used to divide people, but in reality, we are much more alike than different.

However, we are the first to provide hope. This world can become something we can create together if we question injustice, lead with love, and have faith in one another. One brave moment, one act of empathy, and one collective choice at a time.
