What if?

... We put aside our differences and seek our commonality?
... We speak politely to those we dislike?
... We listen to those with who we disagree?
... We hold ourselves to a standard higher than we expect of others?
... We view sports stars as gifted athletes and not role models?
... We ignore the arrogance and pettiness in others?
... We don't expect everyone to be just like us?
... We hold our elected officials responsible for their actions?


What if we did these things, would the world be a better place or would us being better humans be sufficient?

Well...when we do these things we have to add one more to the list...not getting discouraged when we do what is right and the immediate outcome is not shining and pure. That then eliminates our excuses for not taking the high road due to the wrongs or excesses of others.

Would the world be a better place? Incrementally yes...and who knows how many seeds a good example casts that may sprout in future springs?
