What is 'a
better world'?
In a better world, society's goal will be to make life better for everyone. Society
will aim to create a system for living that is sustainable, fair and just, and
the plan will include everyone. Every decision will be made with respect to all
parties involved and with consideration about the future of our planet.
In a better world, every life will be valued. Everyone will have all that they
need to live fruitful lives. Everyone will have the opportunity to better their
lives and the lives of those they love.
In
a better world, all will be taught peaceful, constructive ways to handle problems
and get along with others.
A better world is all about community -- about working together, encouraging each
other, helping each other to live better, more fulfilling lives. Most of all,
a better world is about respect -- respect for ourselves, each other, and the
planet we share.
When we convince the people and the nations of our planet to make 'striving for
a better world' our priority and shared goal, we will transform our culture of
fear and violence into a 'culture of peace and sustainability.' When this goal
has become integrated into our laws and institutions, we won't even have to try
to consciously think about working to create a better world -- it will be the
most natural way to live.
