Question! if you could chose between this world as we know it. or a world far better than what you know, where everyone would have Love. No hatred or negative feelings, peaceful, no one fearing anything or anybody. no one going hungry, or going homeless, which would you choose? peace

That's fantasy. But we do have the choice of truth versus nonsense, the former gives us some of the peace you describe, the latter leaves us bewildered and lost. And if there is an afterlife, can't see it being available to people who've lived their lives in hatred, selfishness and lies.
Jesus prayed to the Father 'not that we be taken out of this world', so I don't think we should either, like op suggests.
Our time to do our Loving is now!
I'm perfectly fine dealing with, and living in, this imperfect world. Struggle and setback are when we are tested and grow. Difficulties stretch us and teach us.
We learn much less, and tend to be rather shallow, when everything comes easy to us.
The make-or-break is when we let our minds rule us, and let obstacles ruin us. But that's a choice. We're to forge ahead no matter what, and direct our minds rather than them controlling us.

I agree, we have this moment, nothing else is guaranteed.

I'm not sure, JJ. What kind of life will it be when there is little to do but reflect on the perfect blessedness of it all? When everything is blessed, nothing is blessed. It takes conflict for the terms "blessed" and "not blessed" to make sense.
I'll bet that there will be great work consisting of challenges to overcome in the next life. That implies the existence of conflict
The bible is not clear on the outcome after the great judgment of God's creation, on the earth or God's plan for the earth ..... But God will have victory, and He will have a family that Loves Him from the humans which will be everlasting kingdom

I understand why you feel the way that you do, I did at some point. question!... do you believe in God? and I'm not referring to an "Afterlife." I'm speaking of people today, living to see a better world. as for those who chose to live a negative lifestyle. this is what Jehovah word says, (Psa. 37:9-11 For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more. But the meek shall inherit the earth,And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace).

it's NOT about "liking" my "suggestions", I didn't ask "likes", Nor do I care about things like that. I'm not here for that, I was sent to speak on Jehovah God's words. I'm sent to relate the wonderful News of the future. so I asked a very important and valid question. and what Jesus meant at (John 17:15*I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one). Jesus didn't say "I" as in himself, because he knew that he would soon leave this world. Jesus was referring to those who's following him. Jesus was showing that MANY would hate his TRUE followers simply because they don't chose to live the way the rest of the world does. peace
