How to save the world - Experiment 2

The other day I was trying to write a truly touching love story. But then it got me thinking; why are all the great love stories so sad. Well I guess deep down everyone's just sadistic or rather we are just disgustingly selfish and can't bear the thought of others being happy.
Then again this makes me sort of sick and I go back to my original view that everyone is inherently good , its generally just the situation or the circumstances. This thought usually keeps me sane or at least makes this world slightly more tolerable.

Now digging deeper, what exactly are these circumstances that drive us to do things which we normally wouldn't have done? Or rather what exactly forces us to step onto each others toes all the time?

Well it sounds quite simple actually; like god created only a single Scarlet Johanson. This has resulted many a toes being crushed and many a wars being raged. So if I were God I probably would've created at least a billion Scarlet Johansons.

Then again, this wouldn't have resolved the problems of the world. Because Charlize Theron would have felt left out and justifiably so. So I would've been forced to make half a billion Charlize Therons and half a billion Scarlet Johansons.

Well if you do the differential right this in the end would have brought me back to making the only single Charlize or Scarlet or Jolie onto this world. So this wasn't a very good exercise.

So I'll let the world be as it is for a while.
