I wish that we could start the world over again and make it so that labels like race, ethnicity, color, religion, and gender did not matter. Rather, attributes such as positive attitude, morality, determination, and integrity were considered important. One was not judged by what was on his back, but rather by what was in his heart. Feelings and circumstances would be considered in this new land, as would be other important topics like poverty and equality. Apathy would not even be in the dictionary.
This dream of mine cannot happen, so I have accepted the inequality, the superficiality, and the ignorance of the world. I have accepted these characteristics as being inevitable for all of humanity, myself included. All I can do, from my speculations, is be the best person I can be in my everyday actions and hope that this influences others to do the same, because if we all do the best we can in our own little minuscule sphere of the world, then one day my dream might just actually come true.

I like your beginning. We should all be so humble and look inward as well as outward. Keep writing and we will keep reading.
My dear Amna,
It is much too obvious that the fruit of the time you spent thinking about what the world should be is infinite because this descriprion is a very clear picture. Your level of maturity continues to surprise me each day.
