Resolutions for a Better World

Dear Reader,

With the advent of a new year, we might want to make a few resolutions if they apply to us (and those in our lives) given all the infirmities currently in the world.

We ought to:

~ behave better toward each other in public and in private;

~ show a regard for truth and a responsible disregard for lies;

~ stop pandering to anger and our primal urges;

~ uplift the common good and deny power to those who would not;

~ seek peace and abhor violence (Isaac Asimov – “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”);

~ cherish our country’s ideals of honor, integrity and compassion; and

~ look for solutions by listening and understanding differences and working out compromises.

We need to unite hope with the belief that we can be better; that we can act better; that we can construct a better world for us and the generations to follow.
