What is wrong with the world?

If you consider worldwide natural occurrences such as death, pain, sickness, earth quakes, tsunamis, famine, floods, being wrong how do you conclude life and the world as imperfect? When indeed the world does as it is intended to do and therefore perfect according to as it is designed to do.

Some people interpret sickness, death or disaster as a sign of an imperfect world and therefore promises by various religions, that heaven will be perfect.

What is heaven is perfect in the same way life on earth is perfect, what is heaven?
 

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts On Common Things​

What's wrong with the world could easily be corrected if all of us, worldwide, followed the simple principles here. Robert Fulghum's little book - first published in 1986 - had all the answers but no one listened then or now.

Heaven is a human ideation there is absolutely no evidence that it exists.

Ideation is a new word to me but I'm guessing that you mean idea and ideation is a verb of idea.
As for heaven, you're right, we have no proof. But we have no scientific evidence of the start of the universe.
Yes we do, it started with the big bang. OK, but what created the big bang?
Gasses.
Gasses? Where did they come from? Science tells us that you simply cannot make something out of nothing.
So! One minute there's nothing, then there's the big bang, caused by gasses..............
Did I miss something somewhere.

To me, it's such a complicated conundrum that I prefer to believe that which St. Blaise observed. Non of us know if there is a life beyond the grave, if there is a heaven and hell, if there is a Deity and judgement. Best then to act as if there were, so that if there is a day of judgement you can at least say you did your best.
 
What is wrong with the world? There's too much hatred and not enough love and caring. People are careless and callous about how they treat what we've been given (life, this beautiful planet). There's less respect for the elderly, women, life, etc. than used to be. We live in a world now where curse words are a "normal" part of speech and the vulgarity has surged into the T.V. shows and movies available now. We live in a world where violent video games are glamorized and sold en masse. Too many of our young people think these things are normal. I noticed things getting worse over the years when "they" started telling parents how to discipline their children and took God out of the schools.
 
The only thing that pops in my head about what's wrong with the world is that it is a testing place to see if we go to Heaven when we die or go to a worse Hell that we are living in now. I imagine you have realized that I am a Catholic.
 
I do not think in terms of heaven or hell instead I think more in terms of a spiritual existance. After we die we join together in spiritual forms and are able to see how each other conducted their lives while we were in this human animal form on earth. The result of this is to determine if our individual spirits will continue to existance in spiritual existance. Then decision’s needs to be made of evil spirits wheater they should not be or not to be destroyed, so that their existance will end.
 
There is a problem with this thread. There are two questions. #1. What is wrong with the world?, and #2 What is heaven is perfect in the same way life on earth is perfect, what is heaven?
I don't understand how they are related. One is a question about "worldwide natural occurrences". The other is question about a non-natural, non-physical ideation. How does a volcano on earth relate to a heaven?
 
Maybe it is because we can only percieve the world with our limited senses. We can not percieve the intricate workings of such a complex system, and at times it is very frustrating because we feel we have to identify the subject/object so we can survive. What is wrong with the world is you can't ever know it's nature, like someone once pinned "like a dog without a bone, an actor out alone...rider's on the storm."
 
This is a segment of the Bill Meyer show when discusses the book "Twilight of Democracy" by/with Anne Applebaum. Consider the current the increasing divisions that are making us all feel like this world is on the verge of chaos.

Just watch the interview....it tells quite a story of our increasingly mad world.

Perhaps evolution was designed to have invasive species? There are many such species. I know of hundreds of non-invasive species.

No "perhaps" about it. Mother nature, ie evolution, created all species of both plant and animals. Herds, flocks, groups, troops etc of animals are at their strongest when they are preyed upon by predators. Without predators, herds of animals become weak.
