Just pause and think for a moment.
What would you do?
Would you eradicate poverty? End world hunger? Establish equality? Bring about world peace? Delete Fifty Shades of Gray from the collective human consciousness? Make chocolate a basic human right?
It’s an interesting thought experiment, but it also leaves you with you a very sad realization: the world really does need change. But where do we even begin?
We've queried some of our favourite celebrities and asked them what they would do if they had world changing capabilities. Here’s what they had to say…
If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be, and why?
If I could change one thing about the world, I would eliminate all weapons and guns from the world. No human being should have access to guns or any kind of weapons.
Goher Mumtaz
The thing that I’d want to change about the world is
jealousy. I wish that we stop getting jealous of each other and we start living
in certain peace with all the gratitude. This is why there are a lot of
problems in the world, and the one thing I’d want to change would be this.
Areej Chaudhary
If I could change one thing about the world, it would be
[that I’d make a] money free world. Everything that is happening is all because
of money. So I would like to create a system without money where nobody has to
face any kind of problem. Only love and humanity will exist. ♥
Imran Aslam
I would change the way people think of each other and make
them stop telling lies. People are not loyal to each other [and they should
be].
Mansha Pasha
[I would ensure] that people with power would be more
responsible and ethical and judicious in the exercising of it.
Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi
I would like everyone in this world to be somehow associated
with some kind of sport or play some sport. I would make it compulsory for
every person to play or do sports or be associated with it because I feel like
sport teaches a lot of values and helps you judge a person as a human being
first – there are no racial, cultural, religious, political boundaries. It
would definitely make the world a better place and a more peaceful place as
well. As a sportsman I got to learn that. It would make major changes if
everyone could be part of sports in one way or the other. It would make the
world a better place for sure.
Wajahat Rauf
I would put a chip in everyone that prevents them from
thinking “I am right all the time”. This would be applicable to all friends and
relatives, governments ... and mothers-in-law.
Hadiqa Kiani
One thing I would like to change would be hypocrisy. If we
can see the true faces of the people around us, a lot of mess in our lives can
be cleared up.
Sherry Khattak
If there’s one thing that I could change in the world, it
would be having no borders, because I think we all are one on some level and there
should be no discrimination for that.
Humayun Saeed
I'd like to eliminate the need or rather hunger for power;
all kinds of it. If you think about it, the battle for power is the root cause
for the world's greatest evils. Corruption, injustice, inequality even wars... all
so that one becomes more powerful than the other. In an ideal world where
everyone has equal access to opportunities, there will be no single person or
entity that would be able to dominate the others and hence there will be peace.
