Ideas for making the world a better place

Geoff-Allen

Resident megalomaniac
Greetings all!

I hope you are enjoying your time with us today at the forum.

Have you any ideas on what you can do to make the world a better place to live in?

Here is 50 suggestions at this interesting site -

Give an elderly person some of your time – sit, talk, listen

Sprinkle kindness like it’s confetti

Share your own story of survival (because we’ve all fought our own battles that will strike a chord with someone else in the world). Here’s part of mine

Don’t litter

Treat everyone the way you would like to be treated. All of the time

Live mindfully

Donate blood or plasma

Feel free to add your own ...

Cheers!

love it is said, is supposed to cover a multitude of "sins"..
so all one needs is love as they said, if one needs it, it is said to be there, all the time,
just the humans have forgotten yet again, [fallen out of sympathetic resonance perhaps?]
probably why the custom of remembrance feasts and such
honor thy father and mother, in the idealized sense of the principle of life we all share in common.

Simply, try to leave our own patch of Earth, and even more of we can do it, at least somewhat better off than when we came into this world. IOW, think small and clean up our own mess first, and then we move on to try and help others, as this was Gandhi's recommendation on this

I try to help my neighbors in my condominium.
I had some fabric masks I had sewed with my sewing machine...I gave them to them
