A nother year has gone by. And with it, we are left wondering if we are anywhere close to attaining the vision of what it means to live in humanity. Are we all set to make this world a better place? With the same thought in mind, Social Diary decided to put out two questions for our artists to reflect on when they look at how 2023 should be shaping up. Let’s look at some really interesting responses on:
The one thing the world needs to bring in 2023?
The one thing the world needs to change in 2023?

The world needs to bring ‘patience’ back in 2023. The ability and mindfulness to hold back for a few moments to assess and analyze before blindly following every trend, racing madly towards instant gratification, dishing out unnecessary opinions on anything and everything, Oooh-ing and Aaaah-ing and loving and hating and canceling things or people at the drop of a hat. We need to learn to pause, think, evaluate and take our time, just sleep on it.
We should revisit our priority lists and will find plenty to change in there because nothing is permanent but change. One change however is definitely in order and that is ‘the things we care about the most’, for instance, life on earth is literally under serious threat due to major environmental challenges and most of us are busy trolling people on what they wore or having substandard arguments under celebrity break up posts? So let us just show ourselves and life some respect, talk about important things and genuinely try to sustain and improve our very existence.

There are a couple of things that are important. Firstly world peace is something world leaders should think about it. Survival of the fittest is also important but it starts with world peace. You can’t run over the other country for the sake of survival; the overall harmony depends on how we create a balance- that’s why world peace is very important.Climate change is also important to highlight and we should be working on it. We are on the track to industrialization but at the same time, we should take care of climate change which is at an alarming stage. Further gender equality is important too which people are working on and should be continuously working towards.

The one thing that the world needs to bring in 2023 for me would be empathy. I think we all could use some.
The one thing that the world needs to change in 2023 would be being judgmental towards each other and forming an opinion a little too soon, so yeah we need to leave out the judgmental aspect of everything and bring in 2023 with lots of empathy within us.
Nida Hussain
The world needs to bring more acceptance and kindness towards others and themselves.
The world needs to change its habits around waste of all kinds. Waste of clothes, waste of food, and waste of their knowledge.
Tauseeq Haider
The one thing I wish the world brings in 2023 is passenger flights to space. It would be such an amazing experience if we could book a ticket and take a trip to Mars or other galaxies even. The universe is such a fascinating dimension that we should all be able to explore. I know that technology is just around the corner but I hope it becomes common during my lifetime. I don’t mind even if it’s the last flight I take. It would be worth it.
There is definitely something about our society that I want to change. There is nothing wrong with a little bit of introspection, especially when we are nearing turning another leaf with the new year. I hope and pray that this year our society becomes more inclusive and tolerant towards religious minorities. Hope 2023 is when Pakistan truly becomes a forward-looking progressive country in line with the vision of our founding fathers.

One thing the world needs to bring in 2023 is more acceptability. We see growing intolerance worldwide and people are not welcoming the differences between them. We see people looking for more differences and reasons to not get along instead of just accepting people as they are and how they want to be. We look for reasons and ways to stand out and yet we are adamant about wanting people to be like us and do as we do.
One thing the world needs to change in 2023 is the perception of people. Let’s all learn to have a positive image of the people around us and perceive the world positively instead of thinking negatively. Let’s all believe that inherently, everyone has good in them and that perception in turn will make us nicer humans as well.
Zoha Rehman
Bring back kindness! Everyone is going through something we don’t know about, so let’s be kind to each other
We need to change living for other people and start believing in ourselves. We are all so much stronger than we believe and we deserve to live the life we dream of!
