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.

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.
