The Thursday Ramble: Happy New Year


 Happy New Year
I assure you 2026 will challenge us,
There will be tragedy, and hatred in the world,
and there will be goodness, peace, and love.
So what is new? Every year is like that. 

Every year has good and bad.

There are some of the human monsters in the world that 
take great pleasure in making people angry, depressed, and hopeless. 
Limit the amount of satisfaction you give them.
Be a beacon of kindness in 2026. 
If each of us helps one other person have a better 2026, the world will be a better place.
And if your country has an election this year
VOTE-VOTE-VOTE
Vote for the people and ideas that make the world a better and safer place. Vote to contain the monsters, to get them out of power. 
In North America and parts of Europe immigration laws are miserably out of date. Urge law and policy makers to modernize the laws. 
Urge law and policy makers to incentivize peace, and discourage war.
Everyday, do at least one little thing that leaves the world a better place than it was before.  
Treat others, as you would wish to be treated.
As humans living in civilized societies, we have much more in common, than we don't. Focus on allowing others to live their differences in peace. Don't let the angry minority, paint entire groups of people in a negative light. 
Help bring peace on earth in 2026

  6. I say Amen to all of that David and I would like to consolidate one of the points you made... Making the world a better place begins with small kindnesses and respect for others. How can we dare to care about the big stuff if we have done nothing small to get there?
