The reason why the world is now an hostile place to live is because people are not interested in loving each other. Nobody is truly interested in anybody; they are only interested in the parts that they think will be pleasurable and comfortable for them to get to know, we only want to show love only to our family memebers alone. No one is concerned about what you are afraid of, what kind of dreams you have at night, what your eyes look like when you laugh and when you hurt. So how is the world supposed to be better?, how is it possible to bring LIGHT TO THE WORLD?, HOW CAN WE DISPEL DARKNESS FROM THE WORLD IF NOT BY LOVE.

Here is a song to make you reflect more on how Love can make the world a better place ( lyrics gotten from https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaeljackson/weretheworldusaforafrica.html)

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone somewhere will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

We are the world,
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So, let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world,
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So, let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

To light the world cannot be done by science neither can it done with advancement in technology. To LIGHT THE WORLD AND TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, the only thing we can do is to LOVE EACH OTHER. Let Love for each other be genuine, let it be unconditional, outdo one another in showing love, let the world be filled with Love.

The Bible affirms it in the book of Mark (Mark 12: 30-31)

30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these
I really love the part the Bible made it known that there is no command which is as great as this, then if there is no other command which is better than Love, it means Love overshadows everything, Love is great because God himself is Love.

We can also use the Quran as a point of reference. Check Quran 4:36

Serve God, and join not any partners with Him, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the stranger you meet
According to the Islamic religion, this is known as the GOLDEN RULE.

Now let's look at it very well; the Christians call it THE GREATEST OF ALL COMMANDMENTS and the Muslims call it THE GOLDEN RULE

Below is the lyrics of another song by Michael Jackson titled HEAL THE WORLD (lyrics of the song was gotten from http://www.metrolyrics.com/heal-the-world-lyrics-michael-jackson.html)

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving
If we try, we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords
Into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

God has created the world for good and for love to exist and He has given us all everything we need to make the world a better place, He has deposited in each one of us talents to light the world. Even though we all have different talents, one thing that is common to all this talent is the fact that they are all directed towards making the world a better place by affecting the life of others positively.

I want us all to understand something "You weren't born to be a spectator of others while they live life to the fullest. You too were born to make the world a better place, so put your talents into good use, love everyone like yourself and see the wonders that will happen".

THE RICH SHOULD SHOW SHOW SOME LOVE TO THE POOR, THE POWERFUL SHOULD SHOW LOVE TO THE LESS PRIVILEGED, THE WHALES AND DOLPHINS SHOULD SHOW LOVE TO THE MINNOWS

You can also show some love to a brother by commenting, upvoting and resteeming this post
