But all in all the best thing that you can do to help anybody else is to help yourself first, then maybe one day, once you helped yourself you might be able to help others, helping the world though is not within your power, its just to big for any human to do, in fact they would have no clue on how to begin such a thing. You even still believe money is the root of all evil, but it's not, even if money would be replaced, something else would take its place, but yes money is just a piece of paper in the end, just part of a bigger picture, just a thing created to focus the unseen evils that live in every humans heart, into a single symbol and path, its just a tool. And can be used for good or bad even evil. It sounds to me like you just want to travel and see things first hand, which is nice and all but remember were the road of good intentions leads, think twice and look both ways before you cross that road.

I had never even thought about that but you are right, how are you ment to help others if you cant even help yourself. Ofcourse helping the world is such a big task it would take so many people to do something on a universal scale but you never really know, maybe its like a chain reaction. Someone reads about what someone has done to help around and then they too would like to contribute, i think it kinda works that way.
If money isnt, then what is? What your getting to sounds quite interesting there. lol
I understand what you mean when you say it would be replaced with something else, but there would have to be one single thing that causes all these things, im guessing it has something to do with human nature.
Oh i definately want to travel, but this isnt just a little phase or anything. anyone who knows me personally would know haha.
and im not screaming godchild either, thats just embarrasing everyone is able to amount to something.
but ofcourse i will think about what path to take before i make any big steps, thanks for the advice

Also when you start out burning brain cells as you are you WILL NEVER know or REACH YOUR POTENTIAL!

Oh the joys of being young. We were born with hearts of gold but as we grow old the heart turns cold. Your father is only looking out for your best interest. The world is a savage place. It is very cut throat out there and you should focus on you own life right now and not the lives of others.
