‘Ask and thou shall receive’, reads the bible. It’s high time we start being cautious about what we ask for and incline our wishes towards the welfare of the society. Human beings are said to be the only sensible beings and are expected to be empathetic towards one another. But somehow there are various factors that have been responsible in spreading misery around the world, certain factors are man made and the rest are natural calamities. Take a look at these seven wishes we have for Santa this Christmas that’ll help the world be a better place to live in.
#1 Earthquakes
We witnessed a major natural calamity this year. The devastating earthquake that happened in Nepal, took a toll on many lives, I am sure none of us would want to see a sight like that ever again. Let’s ask Santa to stop earthquakes for good and help those who were affected by it.

The floods in Chennai, has left many people helpless, let us all pray for each one of them asking Santa to give them the strength to tackle the situation and help each other overcome the disaster.

#3 Secularism and equality
People once had compassion and love for each other however, issues related to religion have made situations obnoxious. People often forget that the most supreme religion is humanity and we are far from following it. So instead of blaming religions and beliefs, we hope that people look for real solution to problems that are hampering world peace.

#4 Rapes and Molestation
If love is supposed to knit people together, why do we constantly get to hear about rage and desperation and the havoc it creates? Rape and molestation cases have reached a shockingly high number making it impossible for women in many countries to feel safe. It’s a shame that not just girls but even young boys are unsafe. We hope that this year onward, the numbers that increase are of aware and educated people that help eradicate such social evils from the society.

#5 Fly to Freedom
Human trafficking has becoming a serious issue. Not only are people devoid of their basic rights but problems like bondage, labour and sex-trafficking seem to have taken the front seat in many parts of the world. We hope the festive spirit and Santa abolishes such social demons.

#6 Poverty
Another social evil, poverty, is one of the leading causes of suffering for many people. We hope the world moves to fairer practices and everyone gets an opportunity to earn decent bread and live their lives like they were meant to.

#7 Corruption
All of us are troubled by corruption all over the world, be it hospitals, police stations or even educational institutions. We hope that the deserving get what is right and corruption is swept out of this world forever, let this be one of the wishes Santa must grant this Christmas.
