How to Make a Better World?

Helen Keller once said, "I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and just because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." Here are some ways to create the necessary changes. 


Identify the humanity of other people and respect their dignity

 

Knowingly, realize that the destitute man you pass on the street every day is, in fact, a human. Through choices of his own or situations out of his control, he ended up in these circumstances, and that makes him no less human. Warmly greet him and say hello. Your greeting could bring love and happiness feelings to his heart, and help heal the world one person at a time. Treat citizens as equals, no matter how you construe their social standing. 

 

Conserve water

 

The amount of water we use is unbelievable. Taking long showers and letting the tap run as you brush your teeth are luxuries that negatively impact our world. Try to limit your water use. Try to beat that time the next time you turn on the tap. This is for a better future for those who cannot afford to use water. 

 

Be generous

 

It's easy to be self-centered with your money, time, and resources by getting caught up in our material-driven expectations of the society. Try being kind and see how your life changes. A small act of generosity does wonders. Buy tea for the person behind you in line, read to children in the local library, or simply stop and pay attention to the answer when you ask a friend how they're doing. Chances are that your generosity will strengthen you, and you'll feel less weak about how to make the world a better place. It may feel like a new beginning.

 

Use less paper and electricity

 

Our forests are being cut down at a shocking rate and to add to that the natural calamities that pull them down. Protect the trees by conserving paper. Send an electronic mail instead of a letter, type directions into your mobile phone instead of writing it down, and bring your jute shopping bags to the store.

 

These acts are like seeing the kind, self-help for you indirectly. These are needed in times of pandemic and war today. Everyone is scared and the power of now, kindness, and donation will help change the world.

Can being “Positive” feel Forced?

We are in a world where there is a lot of negativity. Staying positive is the new trend. As much as it sounds good, sometimes it may feel forced. The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one  gift of life   where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to.  What is forced or toxic positivity?   Forced positivity is the thought that people dealing with a disease need to continually portray themselves in an optimistic mood or light, and that thinking “on the bright side” will help with the hurt. This is awfully common on social media where people are anticipated to only show the good side of their lives.   The term 'toxic positivity' refers to the idea that focusing on the alleged positive emotions and reject anything that may activate negative emotions is the right way to live a life.    The pressured feeling   This kind of feeli...

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today. Today people are worried about the  future   even more.    Crisis and compassion   Owing to so many problems deeper than what it looks like, the search for   happiness   is even more!
