Writing Prompt #1

If a handful of people can change the world for the worse, then I am certain that a handful of people can change the world for the better.

What will you do do to make this world of ours, which feels so broken right now, a better place?


I have always felt that, if I can do one nice thing for a person, I have made a difference in their life.  While this tends to be where the chain of kindness stops, I always have the thought in the back of my mind that the chain continues.  I seem to gain more faith in humanity each day, as I see things happening around me.

I am trying my best to teach my son, even with him only being about 2, right from wrong.  Sure, it's just small things right now, but I'm slowly teaching him to be kind and respect everyone.  This starts with teaching him things like hugs being acceptable, but hitting, kicking, and spitting as not being acceptable.  I hope that these, seemingly, simple lessons, he will take them to heart and show others the kindness that I do.

I, like every other human on this earth, make assumptions about people.  My goal that I'm working toward is making it so these do not affect my decisions on whether or not to interact with them, just because I don't like the way they dress.  I try not to judge because I've been judged most of my life, especially recently.
