empathy, kindness, social responsibility

 

Of course we are better off

in a world that eschews violence

Better, however, not to dwell

on such behaviors but rather to

promote empathy, kindness, 

social responsibility

To treat and see other people

as if you are a moral being

What would that be?

So many people through the ages

and today giving so much skill,

thought, energy to making

improvement within their sphere;

yet those mean, cruel agents of

social unrest, of war, of human

misery, seem to continually gain,

overtake our world

Does it feel better to be a kind, loving

person than to be a hate-filled angry

person?

Asking deep questions

to access what is real

It would be so much easier,

so much more economical,

so much more fun, so much

healthier, happier, safer, for all

of us if we could just learn to see

each other as people we can love;

but, of course, that will never

happen (have you met us?)

In light of the information that this 

has not been so much an inflationary 

period in the US as a price gouging period, 

wouldn't it make more sense to discourage 

price gouging than continue high interest 

rates that fall most disasterously on those 

with moderate to low income while those 

who finance them get windfalls?

seems to me if we have an agency created 

to do the people's work to improve our l

ives/country/world and then not fully fund 

it is stupidity
