“An arrogant person considers himself perfect.
This is the chief harm of arrogance.
It interferes with a person’s main task in life –
becoming a better person.”
Leo Tolstoy

Think about what a wonderful world it would be,
if everyone’s main task was to become a better person.
Imagine that, a thief would see a diamond,
or a pile of money, and think, I can’t take that,
I must be a better person.

No more murders, and no more heinous crimes.
All the babies would grow up to be just fine.
No one would need a security system,
if only everyone’s main task was to become better,
no one would ever become ostracized.

No one would even need locks on their doors.
Do what you can to make the world a better place,
and in doing so, you will be making yourself better.
We can’t fix everything;
but we can head into the right direction.

Our Society

Look at all the problems people face, it’s overwhelming.
To many people being raised to think money rules;
what a bunch of crazy fools?
Love is the way, we all need to chill, and take life slow.
We need to slow down all this crazy consumption,
or learn to do it sustainably.

The world’s economy relies on growth.
Growth is sustainability’s enemy.
Should we steer towards population control,
or shall we continue stimulating growth?
What kind of world will it be 2323?

So many lonely people, so many people working from home.
It’s hard to find love anymore,
everyone is depressed and never go out to roam.
Is technology doing more harm than good?
It makes life easy, but what is it doing to our society?
