Individuals can make the world a better place by considering everyone is an individual and accepting the diversities in this world. Consideration of others is a major component in communication. Communicating our wishes to others, without demanding or feeling we are owed something. Humility is another virtue used to enable people to coexist without hostility and bigotry. Consider, everyone in the world has the same basic needs and wants. We all wish to have approval and succeed at the things we do. Be courteous in your dealings with every individual and always be respectful towards them, this will aid in making the world a better place. Random acts of kindness to perfect strangers would certainly enhance how we feel about each other. Speak to others as you pass them on the street. We can turn this trend around and it does start with just one individual. Start with thanking people for any small favor. Don"t hesitate to help someone if you can. The results are remarkable and contagious. Tell a friend and soon those friends will tell other friends to be kinder and gentler. Positive trains of thoughts, really do stop at most stops. Invite people to get on board. Hopefully soon the train will be crowded. Wouldn"t that be a better place to live? A basic principle taught to us by most religions is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I want someone to be kind to me. That is my cue to be kind to them also. We can all have a hand in making this world a better place. Respect our planet. Everyone wants to attend nice clean beaches and walk down a street without trash strewn everywhere. Disciplining our individual characters will enhance how we treat others and how we feel about ourselves. In Australia, a popular greeting is "Good day mate". It"s clever, quaint, and sounds nice too. The first and very last thing we can do is pray for one another. That woman you just passed on the street, you don"t need to know her name. You can just ask God to bless her. Wouldn"t it be wonderful, if strangers you met, gave you their blessings? What a wonderful world this could be. We can start by saying this simple phrase, "May God Bless you". Louis Armstrong sings in his song, "what a wonderful world this could be". He imagined it and sang about it. So can I. These are all conscious efforts. Every individual can make.
