What is the one thing that the world needs right now?

Love. This includes love for others AND love for oneself.

I go with the first answer but would add understanding.

What it does not need is vested interest, and the rich and powerful simply looking after themselves, it does not need corrupt politicians or a corrupt political system, nor does it need over greedy corporations.

Peace and understanding would be great.

If the population would go down a bit, it would certainly help. Global warming wouldn't be such an issue then.

Peace

Free Beer, but only for Americans because we are superior to other countries.

There's a fat black man naked outside, and so cracked up he doesn't even know who he is. The cops tased him but he put his head through a fence. I looked up and all I saw was a giant black butt pressed up against my window

Fewer aggressors.

We need God -- and to follow Him. Most important in life is to know God and follow Him as a Christian so you can get God's help and get to heaven after you die someday, if you live a good, God-honoring life. God is our spiritual Father, life, love, all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal, holy. Praying the prayer below will make you a born again Christian. Then, live it out with love for God and Jesus Christ, love others, Bible study, prayer, and church. It's about having a relationship with God.

This is how to know God -- the basic Christian message and prayer --- you need to accept God's Son, Jesus Christ, into your life to be a born again Christian and follow God's ways so you can receive God's guidance in your life and get to heaven after you die. Knowing God can transform your life. When you know God, then pray about your life, God can help you live a better life. As God is love, life is primarily about love and relationships in order to have a rich and full life. Also, you need to know God's Son, Jesus Christ, in your life as your Lord and Savior as Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. Having Him with you will give you God's blessing and forgiveness, as you live God's way. Not following God leads to hell, eternal suffering. Instead, there is an important prayer to pray to become a born again Christian. This prayer should be said with faith in God and a sincere heart:

"Dear God, I know that I am a sinful person and I don't want to be like this anymore. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross as payment for our sins, and I want to accept Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior so I can receive God's forgiveness, guidance, and go to heaven someday. Thank you, dear God, for your mercy and guidance; in Jesus' name. Amen."

This prayer can take you to a new place in your relationship with God and transform your life. After saying this prayer, you should check out a Christian church, like Baptist or Lutheran (not ELCA Lutheran). The church can get you baptized and prayed for, and you can pray for yourself daily. Also, get into their Bible study group so you can learn more about God, Jesus, and God's will for your life. The Bible is God's instruction book about how to live a God-honoring life so you can go to heaven after you die. Ways to stay connected to God's path include loving God and Jesus Christ, obeying God's ways, daily Bible reading, daily prayer for yourself and others, getting to church, having your church prayer group and/or pastor pray for you, fasting with prayer for a higher level of prayer, getting with other Christians and doing a Bible study, singing hymns to God, taking communion with the church, helping and loving others, expressing your gratitude to God for His help in your life by telling others of your progress and helping them draw closer to God too, tithing, volunteering at church.

God guide your life.
