One thing i want to change about the world: Mario Thompson


If I could change one thing about the world today it would definitely be war. I feel that war is the most unnecessary thing on the planet. Thousands of men and women lose their lives over stupid things like oil. There is no doubt in my mind that problems between countries can be resolved a lot easier than going to war. I feel that some countries actually plan wars because it is so profitable, so basically people lose their lives just so their government can make a quick dollar. If I were ever drafted to participate in a war, I honestly think I would rather sit in jail. Not because I’m a traitor to my country, but because nine times out of ten I’m not going to believe in what I’m fighting for, and I would rather lose my life (or take other people’s lives) over something I believe in. A lot of people like cheering for their country and encouraging war because the media usually makes people think that war is a good thing. I personally think my art can be used to stop war. Music is one of the most powerful resources on the planet. Music can bring people together and make them forget about their differences. If two people hate each other, but both like a song nothing else will matter because it will only be about the music. Enemies may be at a concert with each other but when their favorite song comes on they won’t be thinking about each other because all they will want to do is dance. Music can cure just about anything.
