Make a Change

What would you change about modern society?

If there was anything I’d change about modern day society, it would be how people treat each other.

I would change things so people would be kinder. Instead of acting on emotions, act on compassion and be more considerate of others instead of focused on our own goals.

I’d put a hand to the mouth and encourage people to listen. Listen to nature, to their heart, or to someone else’s heart. I’d quiet the interrupters and put the soapbox to rest. Help people understand people by the simple act of listening.

Then, I’d take a torch and set fire to negativity. All the doubts and complaints and “doom upon the world” would be put to light. It’d be a nice big bonfire. We could pull out the hotdogs and s’mores.

I’d fill every heart with hope that these gloomy days aren’t the end. I’d help tears that have been shed find a dream again. I’d offer peace and point out interesting people. I’d bury the phone screens and see everyone as an equal.

I’d kill hate and poverty and all reasons for wrong doing. Show everyone the chance of being better and making dreams come true. Then turn around and help the person behind you.

If I could change modern society, I’d change it for the better. We’d all learn to hope again and hearts would be light as feathers.
