What do you have to get rid of to abolish misery and suffering?

Ignorance

Explanation:

In order to abolish misery and suffering, countries, governments, and society in general, MUST end the ignorance that plagues us. The key lies in education. Obviously, education in the traditional sense, in that we need tools and skills that must be learned at home and then the reinforcement of these at school. To this, we start adding all the knowledge and skills that school provides us to become prepared people of the world. But also, at home and at school, we need to get rid of emotional ignorance, in that we have to start working on emotional intelligence to become prepared citizens of the world. It has to be a constant and a given, it's a type of intelligence that also requires practice, it must become a habit, and it must be continuously worked and improved. The reason for this is that a lot of misery and suffering come from selfishness, lack of values (like honesty and respect), injustices, and, yes, lack of knowing any better. The more and better, wholesome and integral education is provided to children AND adults, the less ignorance we will suffer from, and the less misery and suffering there will be.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.

united states reinforcements contributed greatly to three allied victories in france at: cantigny (first major american battle), argonne (the largest in the united states military history, involving 1.2 million american soldiers), and château-thierry (one of the first actions under general pershing).
