Because we don't yet live in a society that values working for a better world,
we will have to make tough choices if we want to live a better world lifestyle.
Are
there things that we do that help to perpetuate our culture of fear? Do we want
to watch movies and television programs and play video games that glorify violence?
Setting a good example in the way we act, treat others and how we deal with conflicts
will take a lot of self-monitoring and a lot of work.
Until we can transform our societies so that we are all truly working to establish
a better world and a culture of peace, we must be prepared to feel "different"
and this will take a lot of courage.
But as the Better World Movement grows and more and more people stand up for their
better world principles, it will become easier to make the right choices.
If
we want to focus our lives more deeply on the goal of creating a better world,
it helps to submerge ourselves in thinking about a better world. Read books about
a better world and better world heroes. Listen to songs about peace, justice,
and environmental sustainability. Participate in better world activities. Surround
yourself with thoughts of a better world, and it will be easier to focus on working
to create it.
