On-Topic: I honestly wish that I, or someone else, would "reset" the world to what it was like during 5000 b.c. or something like that, that humans would exist but everything we had done would just be erased. Buildings, inventions etc. "Living in harmony" with nature and just live to survive. No huge complications...I wish we could go back to the time where we slept outside, hunted animals with bows and simple knifes for food, gathered things from around us to use for survival, to swim in a lake for the sake of swimming in a lake. I wish there would be no religions, nothing that ruled us, nothing that would change our ways. We would meet people along the way to our goal, whatever it might be; Traveling to another country, make something we could call home, something that would be left over for our descendants. I wish we could be truly free, nothing keeping us from being exactly that. I know I'd have to give up things like computers, games, real beds etc. but for that dreamworld of mine, I would offer that without a doubt...

There's a reason why religion exists, why we feel the need to have a government, why society works the way it does, etc; all humans share a very basic set of common goals and ideas, and our society is just the way that those goals have manifested. Even if we did reset ourselves these goals and ideas would just manifest in a different way depending on how we developed, it would still have the same flaws as our society today.

There's never going to be a perfect world or a world without hate. Humans fucked the world up.
