    If I had to choose from your list, I would surely choose "injustice", because in fact I think it comprehends many of the other options (so, a lot of birds with one stone :D ):

    That there's people starving in a world that's reaching records of food production is an injustice

    That there's poverty while a handful of guys have more money on their own that full countries' economies in an injustice

    That there are diseases that could be cured, but they aren't because research is not profitable, or because it's more important to spend money in weaponry, is an injustice

    Crime is an injustice by definition (that's why it's punished)

    War is an injustice against human dignity, it's institutionalized madness

    Pollution, and our constant looking the other way, is an injustice against human health

    And prejudice is an injustice against human harmony; when you're prejudiced against some person because (s)he belongs to group X or Y, you've killed the possibilities of communication from the get go, you don't even give the other a ghost of a chance

    What Will Change?

    “Nation will not lift up sword against nation.”

    “No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”

    “Death will be no more.”

    THE statements above might seem too good to be true. But we can be sure that they are more than wishful thinking. Why? Because those are not the empty pledges of politicians who are powerless to change our world. Rather, the promises quoted above are found in the Bible.

    Many people feel that the Bible is an ancient book that has no relevance to our day. Is that what you believe? If so, why not take a closer look at what the Bible contains? The fact is, the Bible is the only sacred book that traces mankind’s history to the very beginning. It explains the following:

    ● How the human race fell into despair.—Romans 5:12.

    ● How God purposes to remedy the situation.—John 3:16.

    ● Why governments cannot change our world.—Jeremiah 10:23.

    ● Why we can trust God’s promise to do so.—Joshua 23:14.

    Will God really eliminate starvation, war, sickness, and death from the human experience? Such a prospect is not difficult to believe once you accept the following:

    1. God created us.

    2. He cares about us.

    3. He has the power to change the world.

    4. He purposes to do so.

    Are there good reasons to accept those four points? Jehovah’s Witnesses, invite you to find out for yourself through a study of the Bible. Please visit www.jw.org

    Injustice, but only if it's something that bothers me.
