I’ve figured out how to create world peace instantly. You’re aware, I’m sure, of all the devastating fires, floods, and earthquakes and the damage they’ve caused to people’s lives; atrocities such as those happening in the war in Ukraine; human trafficking even in the US; people facing death and disease because of polluted water and poverty; children not having enough to eat. What if everyone in the world just dropped their guns, put aside their political and religious differences, rolled up their sleeves, and got to work to help people caught in these situations, whether in their own country or across the globe? After all, helping each other is mandated by every holy book and lauded as a virtue by all cultures (whether they practice it or not). If everyone were involved in humanitarian efforts, Mother Nature would be happy, we’d all be better people, and there wouldn’t be any time for the pettiness and cruelty that got our world where it is today.
Okay, okay. So the Pollyanna in me sometimes peeks out….
