Moving Forward Together
As humans, we want to be connected. From birth, we seek connections. Yet, we live in divisive times and societies.
How do we change this?
How do we make the world a more friendly and accommodating place for our children and grandchildren to inherit?
For a start, we need leaders and the media to stop engaging in denigrating, mean-spirited sound bites. We need politicians thinking about all citizens, not just their financial benefactors and core base of voters.
We need leaders with the courage to stand up for all constituents rather than lining their pockets with perks, benefits, and cash. To be held accountable for not making their counties, states, or countries better for the next generation.
We need leaders, athletes, and cultural icons to set examples of what good behavior looks like. We need them to display kindness, compassion, and empathy instead of mean-spiritedness, nastiness, and rudeness.
Or maybe we only need individuals like you and me to be nicer and kinder to one another.
To be more understanding and accepting of each other’s quirks, challenges, meltdowns, and bad days. Instead of trickle-down, let’s take responsibility for trickling up the foundation for a better world.
