We need to feel more to understand others. We need to love more to be loved back.

We need to cry more to cleanse ourselves.

We need to laugh more to enjoy ourselves.

We need to establish the values

of honesty and fairness

when interacting with people.

We need to establish

 a strong ethical basis as a way of life.

We need to see more

other than our own little fantasies.

We need to hear more

and listen to the needs of others.

We need to give more

and take less.

We need to share more

and own less.

We need to realize

the importance of the family

as the backbone of stability.

We need to look more

and realize we are not so different

from one another.

We need to create a world where

 we can all peacefully live

the life we choose.

We need to create a world where

 we can trust each other.
