In light of horrifying recent events, I propose my solution for how to save the world. I petition and plead for global compassion.

Considering the attack on Brussels, the suicide bombing in Pakistan, the hijacking of the EgyptAir flight and all of the brutality and chaos that hasn't or isn't being reported by the media, violence and terror have become the norm.

This is the plague of current times, as it is complicated and encouraged by the media, past violence and various other and numberless factors. Just in the United States, the issue of gun control is still looming large. We have yet to realize a solution. We have yet to listen to Marilyn Manson and Michael Moore from "Bowling for Columbine."

We still have yet to not only listen to the victims of gun violence and their loved ones, but to offer compassion before we offer our opinion.

We still have yet to learn how to respect victims of sexual assault, those suffering from mental illness, religious minorities, children and so many more who continue to be oppressed. It is time for us to rediscover the beauty in gratitude and collective understanding. We have forgotten how to empathize simply for empathy's sake.

This plague is global. ISIS terrorizes the Middle East as drug cartels dominate Latin America. Pacifism and diplomacy are disregarded and disrespected as an invincible nationalism continues to fire. Our earth is crumbling beneath our feet, and we still ignore the reality of climate change, global insensitivity and overwhelming violence. The bad continues to outweigh the good, and hope seems to dwindle endlessly.

Now, I am petitioning to save the world, to remind each other of love and concern and to regain and retain our humanity.

I write to start a human revolution, and I ask that you join me. Share this article, and contribute to this forward-moving mission with and for everyone. Reach the biggest politicians and business leaders. Reach innovators and media personalities. Reach celebrities and communities.

We all need a reminder of the strength in compassion, the influence of expressing gratitude and the power behind love.

Don't give up on our world just yet. Don't give up on me, your neighbor or yourself. Offer tenderness without seeking a reward for doing so.

Lastly, I ask that you do not encourage violence nor poke fun at this mission. There is no shame in attempting to remind everyone of their human capacity. Let us show one another that we are still heartfelt and human.
