Let's Imagine..
Our society is so focused on aging from the time we are little. Instead of asking others, "How OLD are you?" We could say, "How NEW are you?" Every day is a new day and everyday that you awaken you are fresh and new. Every moment is new. That is the truth too. It takes the sting out of your "number" if you are 20 years new! It sounds fun actually. We are just expressing qualities at different stages. How about accepting the "number" that you are or just say you are an ageless wonder, and just focus on expressing more love, kindness, smiling, joy, integrity, high moral standards, doing what's right, thinking each day how we can bless others? If people started thinking THAT way, we would have no WAR and we would be bringing The Smile Revolution to planet Earth. Go to a nursing home (House of Wisdom), and bring cheer and smiles. I dare you. Go to a homeless shelter and talk to them and see how you may be able to help someone.
Go to a hospital and volunteer. Maybe read to someone something uplifting or entertain them somehow if that is a gift of yours. Feed the poor. Give time or/and money to a cause..Haiti or Chile etc. Genuinely SMILE to everyone you see today whether you "know" them or not. Express unconditional love. Stop judging people whether its your family member or a so- called stranger(someone you just haven't met yet, but is part of your family on Earth). Forgive everyone for everything. NOW. I dare you.
When someone takes drugs, instead of saying that person is "getting high", I think we should say they are "getting low" or "going down". Its glorifying drug use like its something good and substantial, which its not. How many children these days are ruining their lives from heroin in high school?
Our priorities are off and its at a dangerous level now. Why are teenagers in Los Angeles robbing celebrity homes to get designer clothing, and jewels? Celebrities lives are envied and too much in the public eye..like they are each a God. Our society worships them. Instant gratification is rampant in our society. What are our movies, advertisements, television, magazines, websites and  music teaching our children? Are we feeding the next generation wholesome ideas to uplift and inspire them to greatness and to be all that they can be?
