YOU AND SOCIETY
102. Heal the Hate.
Do not belittle another human being. Do not put yourself above
another race, religion, economic group, or anyone. We are all struggling to
survive in this world. God does not love one group or person more than another.
When you start to see the common thread in each person you meet, then you will
connect to a greater source of love and strength than you could ever imagine.
Consider it a privilege to be alive. Rejoice in meeting everyone you can. Every
person can teach you something about yourself and the universe. Open your eyes
to the beauty and joy that emanates from strangers all around you.
103. Stand Up for What Is Right.
Speak out against injustice, prejudice, hatred, and demeaning
stereotypes. Look beyond a person's outward appearance, and see the real inner
beauty he or she possesses. You may not be able to take on a whole country, but
you can tell someone that their mean joke isn't funny or stick up for someone
who is being picked on. Teach your children to be kind, fair, tolerant, and just
and to give everybody a chance by being friendly to all the other kids. A child
who is different often needs friends more than anyone else. The values you teach
your children can change the face of the future. There are many more good people
on this earth than bad ones. We need to stick together because hate is always
louder and more aggressive. Taking a stand may be uncomfortable for a minute or
two, but you'll sleep a lot better. (JE)
104. Do Good. Do Your Share. Help Someone.
Help your neighbor. Help your community. Help some kids. Find a need and lend a
hand. Donate your time, money, and energy. Join a service club, feed the
homeless, give a friend a ride, take someone to lunch or buy them flowers, mail
someone a card, compliment a person who is doing a good job. call someone who is
sad. Make this world a better place. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Be a
positive force in the world.
105. Give Genuine Hugs . . .
to people who need them, to people you care about, and sometimes even to
strangers. The more love you send out, the more you will get back. Many
strangers can pick up this love as positive energy you send them. You help to
fill them up as well as yourself. We are connected in this world and love is the
reason.
106. Think Like an Angel.
How can you help someone in need, lift a burden, or light the way for
someone? It's good practice. (JE)
107. Take Care of the Earth.
In the last 100 years, human beings have destroyed more of the earth
and its resources than in all prior centuries combined. This is the only earth
we have. Teach your children and grandchildren to protect the earth, to recycle,
and to refuse to buy products that poison our ground, air, and water. Do not buy
products made from endangered animals. Rhino horns do not have medicinal value.
Don't use more than you need. Be an educated consumer.(JE)
108. Challenge the Status Quo.
Just because something is the norm or always was done a certain way
does not make it right. Phrases like "there have always been wars" and "kids
always pick on eachother" help to perpetuate and excuse undesirable situations.
Look back at history, and you will see that what might have been okay in its day
is not acceptable now. Throwing Christians to the lions was considered a
spectator sport in its day. Fashionable women used to wear the fur of endangered
animals to the theater. Minorities and women could not vote. Nothing changes for
the better if we do not question "business as usual."
