AHAA! I got it, at least I hope so.
For me “I want to save the world” and ” I want the world to be saved” meant exactly the same, i.e. I didn’t realize that the sentence “I, person P, want to save the world” meant that P had to be involved in this whole save-the-world-business.
Now “I want to save the world” evokes rather egoistic and self-aggrandizing characters in my mind.
Strange world...
