Maybe we should stop battling over resources, and start cooperating as if we are all equal parts of the same whole. The world is currently operating like a dysfunctional family. What if we take what we know works at the most basic levels of human relationships and scale them out globally? Why don't leaders try to model systems after things that create harmony rather than dissonance?
What makes someone a good partner / mother / father / child?
What makes a neighbor a good neighbor across the hall / fence / road / city / state / country / world?
What makes a leader a good leader?
Which kinds of interactions make you feel safe, and which ones get your hackles up?
In your self-reflection, are you treating others the way you want to be treated, or are you causing them to bristle and stop listening before you ever actually say anything?
What are our world leaders doing? Are they fostering an environment of cooperation and mutual respect, or are they causing shields to be raised? And if you're able to vote - are you making it count towards a world you want to live in?
