How to Make the World Better

Well, while I'm on a roll here, I've been thinking of some things that we should all have more of. Of course there are all counterparts of things that we really need less of. Make sure that when you read the list, make note of the things that you do right too, because then you can see how to make the world around us better.

-More hugs, less drugs.
-More family room, less bedroom.
-More understanding, less violence.
-More designing, less pirating.
-More chess, less video games.
-More doors, less locks.
-More photography, less pornography.
-More friendships, less boundaries.
-More culture, less racism.
-More moments, less possessions.
-More love, less hate.
-More welcoming, less bitter.
-More suggestions, less arguments.
-More forgiveness, less grudges.
-More smiles, less apathy.
-More truth, less lies.
-More empathy, less pickup lines.
-More hikes, less television.
-More contribution, less vandalism.
-More discussion, less arrogance.
-More information, less celebrities.
-More appreciation, less taking things for granted.
-More radio, less iPod.
-More ethics, less profit.
-More cooperation, less greediness.
-More team, less I.
-More genres, less repeat-song.
-More abstinence, less sex.
-More trust, less secrets.
-More hanging out, less MySpace.
-More phone calls, less texting.
-More today, less procrastination.

Every one of us has at least a handful of these things on the list that we're already doing, at that's great, because everything on the less side makes us feel 'better' about ourselves, and I've been in both places and I'd have to say that the more column is by far true happiness. You want to be happier right now? Try the less side. You want to be happy for a long time, make friends and be seen as a good person? Try the more.
