Making the World a Better Place

Prompt: If you could write some advice for the entire humankind on a board or tablet where everyone could see, what would that advice be? It can be as short or as long as you wish.

--------------------

Chill out, humanity! Stop all wars.

People, be kind and don’t impose your ideas and beliefs on one another. This is not helping you as persons or as groups. Try not to cross the line with other groups or persons.

Don’t be greedy. For the sake of your own gain or your company’s or group’s welfare, don’t stop or hinder inventions and discoveries. If you are lucky enough to come up with something that will help others, distribute it freely or with little gain. For example, raising an important medicine’s price 500% for monetary gain ranks a person or group way below the animal and plant kingdoms where ethics is concerned.

In other words, as individuals, find your purpose in life and go after excellence not monetary or fame-related success, and instill this idea in your offspring and those who may be looking up to you.

Still as individuals, don’t be hasty in complaining and finding fault with others; instead, give support and show affection, understanding, and acceptance to those who need it. Even your support of one person can lead to the elevation of the entire humanity.

If a problem needs fixing anywhere in the world it up to us, the humankind, to fix it. After all, we’re all in this together.

PROMPT: Name three things you're doing or can do in your life that are making the world a better place.

Not just for me but for those who like to write, the saying, “Pen is mightier than the sword” can go a long way. Rather than fighting others’ negative ideas or thoughts, if we were to promote truth, peace, good will, and acceptance, I think the world would be a better place. I try to do this from my very tiny corner in this world. I hope it works at least on one person.

In addition, doing the best with my work and those things I am responsible for has been a lifelong quest. I am not always very successful, but I try.

Then, helping others when I can and embracing all life is also in the works. I wish what I do can help someone in some way, and I hope I don't step on anyone or any living being, so at least, at the end of my life, I might be able to sing my swan song without having hurt any person or a living being.
