Resolutions for a  Better World 

Dear Reader, 

With the advent of a new year, we might want to  make a few resolutions if they apply to us (and those in our lives) given all the infirmities currently in the world. 

We ought to: 

~ behave better toward each other in public and in private; 

~ show a regard for truth and a responsible disregard for lies; 

~ stop pandering to anger and our primal urges; ~ uplift the common good and deny power to those  who would not; 

~ seek peace and abhor violence (Isaac Asimov –  “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”); ~ cherish our country’s ideals of honor, integrity  and compassion; and 

~ look for solutions by listening and understanding  differences and working out compromises. We need to unite hope with the belief that we can be  better; that we can act better; that we can construct a  better world for us and the generations to follow.
