I found this promt quite unhelpful – particularly seeing as it specifically asks for “something” that you would want to un-invent and yet invention is something that is inherent in us as a species. Now if the prompt was posed as: “If you could CHANGE something, what would it be?”, I expect that many of the answers would still be the same.
So, what would I change? My answer is not a “thing” but rather a state of empathy or feeling. I would like to change the disconnect that has occurred between peoples and their connection with nature and their surroundings. Our world seems to have descended into “US” and “THEM” with very little respect for those who don’t share our heritage or opinions. I would like this mentality to change and for everyone to listen to, discuss and learn from other’s experiences.
Don’t immediately be judgemental and instead if you do not agree with another’s point of view, try to enter into a reasonable discussion with them about why you don’t agree, be willing to change your mind and/or try to change their perspective. We are all different, have different experiences and there is so much that we could learn from one another to make the world a better place.
