If you could do any one thing, what would it be?

Wow this one is hard only one thing. If I could do any one thing it would have to be prevent wars from ever happening. War is by far the worst thing in the world by far worse than disease, cancer, famine, or natural disaster. If you add up the total number of deaths from those four things it wont come close to the number of deaths from war. Its hard to imagine the amount of people who have died. In one three month battle in World War I over 1,100,000 soldiers died on both sides. Think of those families who lost someone think of any family who lost someone in war. It is just such a terrible thing. If there was no war then everyone would get along and instead of spending money on weapons we could use that money to find a cure for cancer or reach the outer limits of space. The world would such a nicer place then it is now. Unfortunately it is impossible to never have war. No matter what there will always be war. Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

People keep saying "world peace" and "cure cancer." I'm starting to feel like a d!ck for talking about my book.
