17. What Makes the World Dangerous?


“We make the world dangerous.” – Michael Dillon

Michael Dillon, a political theorist, has established that man is the primary source of making the world a dangerous place to live in. I personally believe that it may have been caused by various factors, such as the decisions that we make (right or wrong), the laws that we ourselves created and enforced, the technology that we have invented, and so on.

Taking corruption as an example, no one else is to blame but the faulty decisions politicians make. It is their personal choice to horde much of the government’s money instead of properly allocating it to help the poor or reconstruct public utilities. Because they have the power and influence to do so, they find loopholes in the flawed system, which man has once again constructed, in order to go about their corrupted plans.

Who else is suffering by all the peril in the world? In the end, it may be concluded that we cannot point fingers to anyone else but ourselves for generating such a hazardous environment, which, ironically, is the place that we live in.
