We can change the world with justice, kindness and peace. By Hani

Stages of change

As world gets older, the environment changes – whether it’s the surrounding, the scenery or the humans. Everything changes. Changes can be divided into two – good or bad. Seeing it today, more negative changes has taken place. Why does it happen?

Do you remember when we were a kid; our mother would always tuck us to the bed with bedtime stories – Cinderella story, Robin Hood or Tom Thumb, and you named it. Different story telling but bring the same meaning – To always be kind to others, to always be justice and living a peaceful life.

World today – War, religion fight, corruption, politics imbalance, racial conflicts and so much more until words can’t be used to describe all those negative actions. Have you ever wonder what has caused this to happen? Ask me, I would say - Greed, jealousy and hatred. Are these the moral values instilled in us by our parents? Are these what we have learnt in school? The answer is NO. But why these are all the things that is happening today?

I have several questions to be solved. You see, justice is an act to be fair. You have an apple to be shared with a brother. And he’s crying over it and you want to eat the apple too. (1) How will you solve it? Yes, by cutting the apple in two and each will get half of the apple. Fair enough. Ask yourself, is this what is happening today?

Imagine a situation; you are walking down a street. You saw a crying boy looking for his mother. (2) What will you do? Will you leave him alone? Will you help him? If you believe in Karma, then you’ll help him looking for his mom. But nowadays, it is not safe to help those in such situation. Why? Because most of the time it is a scheme to rob you and to kidnap you. This is our mindset nowadays.  Easy questions with easy answer – we are not living a peaceful world.

Living a peaceful life means to have a harmony society, stable politics, free-conflicts life and a balance environment. To do an action, always ask yourself, would I want others to do this to me? Never think only about yourself, we are living in a world with other humans, animals and plants. Think about them too. Then life will be balance and harmony.

When there’s a situation occur, solve it with justice. When people are in grief, kindness will be the key. Then, there will be a peace. We can change the world with justice, kindness and peace. Remember we can make the difference.
