What could people do that would make the world happier?

What would make the world happier for you? How would people change their behaviours? Tell me some things that would give you that "all is well with the world" feeling.

For me, people should:
1. stop hurting each other
2. laugh, kiss, and cuddle more often
3. Get over themselves

stop hearing and start listening.

i think the world would be an entirely different place if everyone wasn't so eager to speak of themselves and instead directed that energy into learning all they can about someone else. everyone has a story...most just never have the chance to tell it...or at least have the opportunity of an audience who actually takes a genuine interest.

1. no more animal testing OR eating

2. no more petty little disputes.

3. just realizing that love is the most important thing we are given in this world. yeah, that's right, "love is all you need!"

4. everyone should have a pet that they love and that loves them back.

5. said pets are SPAYED and NEUTERED.

6. more LISTENING, and not just plain hearing.

hahaha i swear we posted at the same time! i didn't copy!

I love telling stories, some real, some made up. I put them in my journal.

I think if there was more silence, the world would be better. I think if people were more polite but at the same time more honest, it would be far better as well.

I forgot one thing: If people learned to love themselves, completely. I think a lot of problems are caused when people do not truly love themselves and project their insecurities onto others, through blame or labeling or whatever. We can't relate to others in a healthy way until we learn to love and be gentle with ourselves.

Also, if people realized the world in fact revolves around a rose on a very small distant planet ...and not themselves.

great minds think alike, zAh?

i also agree with dia...we are in dire need of some honesty. good or bad. the remarkable ability to be honest not only to others, but most importantly with yourself, has been totally lost on our generation i think.

and let's not foget compassion. pure, genuine, compassion for those trusting enough to open up to others...but not in the form of pitty. in the long run, a knowing squeeze of someone's hand is much more necessary than the typical 'there, there' responses.

i could go on for days about this topic...

Is that from Oprah, or is it from a Maya Angelou speech?

It's from me, Oprah can suck my dick.

Not at all. She does suck, though.

Plus what comes outta my pretty little head has nothing to do with her. Or Maya Angelou for that matter.

pretty.
