W1: "The World I Want to Live In"

The world I want to live in is a world filled with warmth, not from the sun, but from people. A world where everyone, no matter their background, gender, or beliefs, feels welcomed, respected, and safe. That is the world I aspire to live in: a peaceful, just, and inclusive one.

🌍 What Would This World Look, Sound, and Feel Like?

In this world, there are no sounds of bombs, gunshots, or angry shouting. You can hear children laughing in the park, music in the streets, and kind conversations between strangers. You would walk down the road without fear of being judged, hurt, or excluded.

The community I imagine is like a big family. People help one another without expecting anything in return. Neighbors know each other’s names, children play together no matter their race or religion, and everyone feels like they belong. No one is left out. Everyone has food to eat, a place to stay, and someone who cares about them.

Justice is not just an idea; it’s real and lived. In this world, everyone is treated equally under the law. No one gets special treatment or just because they are rich, powerful, or influential. There is also no gender discrimination. No matter whether your boys or girls, everyone is treated equally. No one says, “You can’t do this because you are a girl,” or “Only boys can be leaders.” Everyone has the same chances.

• The image is full of smiling people of different races, genders, and ages walking together peacefully in a green, clean city. 

• Everyone is holding hands, talking, or riding bikes. No one is left out, and there's no sign of conflict, violence, or injustice. This reflects a fair and united community where everyone feels safe and respected.

• The city is well-organized with clean energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines. These symbolize responsible leadership and institutions that care about sustainability, fairness, and protecting future generations.

🕊️ Values and Laws That Shape This World

This world is built on values like equality, compassion, love, respect, and honesty. People follow the rules, not because they are afraid, but because they care about others. No one steals or cheats because they know it’s wrong. Instead of hurting others, people help one another. 

There is no war. Problems are solved by talking and listening, not fighting. Leaders care more about people than power. Gender does not limit opportunities; everyone from different races, identities, and backgrounds is given equal space to shine.

Animals are protected too. Animal abuse is unheard of because everyone in this world treats all living beings with care. Stray animals are rescued instead of being ignored. Wildlife is preserved, not exploited.

💗 Why This World Matters to Me

This dream matters to me because I’ve seen the opposite in real life. I’ve seen crimes like murder, war, and bullying happen in so many places. I’ve seen how people are bullied just for being different. I’ve heard cruel words used against others because of how they look, who they love, their skin color, or where they come from.

I’ve also seen many video scenes about the war happening in Gaza, the pain, and how innocent people are suffering. It's broken my heart, the world was so unfair, and it makes me wonder, “Why do people treat each other this way?”

All of this makes me wish for a better world even more. A world where no one has to live in fear, and where kindness, fairness, and peace are the most important things instead of money, power, and hate.

 

⚠️ What Stops This World from Becoming Real?

So, if this world sounds so beautiful, why can’t it become real?

The answer is complicated. The biggest challenge is human nature. Everyone has different thoughts, beliefs, and priorities. Some people choose selfishness over kindness. Some want power and wealth more than peace. Sadly, reality often supports the powerful, not the fair. 

✨ Supporting SDG 16

This dream world supports Sustainable Development Goal 16, which is about promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions. It reminds us how important it is to build a world without violence, where laws protect everyone fairly, no matter who they are, and they can live in safety and dignity.

In the end, the world I want to live in may not exist yet, but every act of kindness, every stand against injustice, and every small effort to understand others brings us closer. I believe we can build this world together, little by little, if we start with ourselves.

Because peace is not just a dream. It’s a choice.
