5. Obstacles & Goals

" I do believe there is enormous possibility to change this world." -- Nicole Kidman

The biggest obstacle for creating a better world is that "the system" that we allow to control our lives does not have "creating a better world" as its goal. Because of this, instead of being citizens in a global community, we are seen by this system as merely consumers in a global economy.

We know the system isn't right, but our lives are too busy, and we feel too powerless to change things. The Better World Movement will create a thriving Better World Community, and help us realize that together we can change the system and create a better world.

Part of the problem is that most people won't let themselves even think about the possibility of peace on earth or creating a better world. They don't believe it's possible to change the system, so they've given up hope. They don't see 'living for a better world' as a viable choice to make in their daily lives.

The primary goal of the Better World Movement is to popularize the desire to create a better world, so that we are empowered to believe that we can work together to change the system. Our goal is to change society's attitude, so that a "better world lifestyle" will become a viable and preferable choice that people can make each and every day in everything that they do.

So many people are already doing so many things to make the world a better place, but we don't associate the acts of kindness and compassion that people share, with a wish for a better world. The Better World Movement will help people see that every act of kindness is helping to create that better world we're envisioning.
