SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS

Some random thoughts today on the kind of person I would like to be
as well as the kind of world…I would like to see.

The first and most important behavior I’d like to see everyone put into effect…
would be to treat EVERYONE, yes EVERYONE, with dignity and respect.

When dealing with people, animals and the earth…
a gentle soul is who we all should endeavor be from the start.
Never look down on ANYONE 
or with revenge, resentment and animosity in our heart.

Do not blame poverty on the people who are trying to survive it
They are not the ones who stimulate, who force, propel or drive it.

Everyone should do their best everyday in this world
for harmony, unity, love and friendship to increase…
It is easy but disastrous to promote hate and prejudice and war
It is more difficult but more beneficial to promote
kindness, love and peace.

We must diversify our lives and our education
as we strive for a world of peace of love and harmony.
Improve our civil and religious liberties
and make sure everyone understands the meaning of equality.

Our Earth is sacred….we should walk on her with a soft and gentle pace
She is filled with wonders we’ve yet to uncover…
she is not a depository for our waste.

We should fill the wold with music, poetry and art…
encourage all people everywhere to think.
These are as important to a happy life as what we eat and drink.

And finally it should be the duty of everyone, every country on this planet
to ensure everyone else is safe, housed, fed and free
to set an example of humanity and justice
not one of inequality and cruelty.?
