World Resolutions

With a whole new year in front of us, what time is better than now to try and positively change the way we are living?

10 Worldwide Resolutions for 2012:

1. Honesty.
  • Ever heard of "honesty is the best policy?" Well, obviously most politicians have not. (Among many other people, too...) Secrecy is everywhere and scandals are breaking out, in such a fashions that it seems to be every other week. Now, I'm sure that these kinds of situations, of lying and deceit, have been around throughout all of history, so it can only be considered somewhat normal. But it's never too late to change, right?

2. Acceptance.
  • Of every race and gender and lifestyle. I know that you may not exactly approve of a certain lifestyle of custom, but the least you can do is try and still respect everyone. Discrimination based on gender or race, however, is just plain inadmissible.

3. Help given to anyone who needs it. The poor, starving, and sickly in every country.

4. No conflict.
  • This one is hard, but try and be open to listening to other opinions.

5. Healthier lifestyles.
  • It's not just America, that is bashed for the fast food, that is unhealthy. There are things many people, everywhere, can do to enrich their life, with healthier choices. No smoking, no drinking, avoid eating unhealthy foods, and choose to exercise more often.The better you feel, the better you feel about yourself.
 6. Take care of the Earth.
  • It is the only one we have, after all... 

7. Stop the greed.
  • A more equal distribution of the world's wealth doesn't sound so bad. Do these over paid celebrities and business men really need so much power and wealth? 

8. A separation of Church and State.
  • It's already supposed to be part of America's Constitution, but somehow one always ends up influencing the other. They should be kept apart from each other.

9. Have confidence.
  • Sometimes it doesn't matter what other people think of you. It is your life to live, the way you want to. If they cannot accept that, it's their problem. 

10. Be supportive.
