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.
