Why does it take something to happen to ‘you’ before one shows compassion to others in the same circumstance or before one ‘understands’?

    I think it is the answer that will bring about the most help in the world.

    Is the Australian gun control system working or are we over regulating honest individuals and industry to pander to an emotive argument
    2+

    Millions of dollars are spent every year regulating firearms ownership for no obvious measurable or verifiable benefits. Has it stopped massacres on Australian soil and are the increases/decreases in crime related? Also with the claims by the government that lone wolf terrorist attacks are becoming increasingly more likely do we need to rethink self defence? To quote David Leyonhjelm are we “a nation of victims”

    Do we still need formal inter-country borders?
    16+

    It seems that a lot of the world’s problems are caused by border disputes. Europe has proven that countries and citizens can maintain identities without formal borders. Maybe we should re-think the world?

    How do we really fight world hunger and poverty? Or is it possible to get rid of inequality altogether?
    10+

    I am asking this question because the UN has identified a set of development goals such as equal access to education and eradication of poverty that it made me wonder if we as citizens of the world can truly achieve these goals.

    What are the practical, everyday benefits we might experience living in a ‘more agile’ Australia?
    1+

    Political rhetoric seldom translates easily into discernible difference at the individual level. When Malcolm Turnbull proposes an increasingly ‘agile’ Australia, what real difference will this occasion in our 21st-century, day-to-day lives?

    What’s happened to spirituality? Who are we anyway aside our bodies and brains?
    1+

    We are so obsessed with defining ourselves inside constructs that divide us, why not discuss what could possibly unite us?

    How do we take our communities back from the control of corporate shills and sociopaths without violence?
    10+

    Behind every story in the media that makes me want to cry I can trace the instigating issue to greed and lust for power/control by entities (corps and gov) and individuals who seem classically sociopathic. The way we have decided to perceive success seems to lead inevitably to the ones most lacking in morals, ethics or care for others to be hailed as leaders. I am tired of the cruelty. I would like to see what we could achieve if kindness and social wellbeing were the goal instead of greed.

    What was Nathaniel doing under the fig tree?

    When Nathaniel asked to be recruited by Jesus, Jesus said, “Yes, I saw you under the fig tree!” It has always intrigued me.

    If offices were filled with piano keyboards rather than computer keyboards, would the world be a happier place?

    If we all tapped away at pianos rather than computers, maybe we’d all be happier.

    Songwriters are lionised as geniuses, but hardly anyone buys or reads poetry. I don’t get it!
