Be Nice! It's not 'just a cliche'.

last year

There is a lot that has to be done on a wider scale to work towards making this world a better place for everyone. To be fair, I don't know if the idea of a better place for everyone will ever come to pass. Not when the complexities igniting our needs and wants are massively dynamic. However, it will be nice for the world to get significantly better for the vast majority.

We know for a fact that the Economy cannot be overlooked if we are trying to make this world a better place. The fact that so many people struggle to eat a decent meal and most of the people in places like Nigeria live below $1 per day shows that a lot of the things going wrong can be solved if we get to pull our economy in order. Moving beyond the economy, the political structures are also there. Politics is no joke and anyone who thinks they are not affected by what happens on the political front is surely not paying good attention.

A lot of the countries that are fairly conducive for people to thrive in their business and craft are that way because their Politicians are doing a fairly decent job. We can say the same about religion, cultures, beliefs and even the most basic display of humanity/inhumanity. If each of these things works towards the positive, you will easily notice that the world will significantly improve and become better.

That's on the macroscopic aspect of it. Even climate change activists do their part in making this world a better place. The big question is;

What about you? What are you doing to make this world a better place?

I know there are people who their recurrent act of inhumanity towards those around them are making the people to go through a living hell and I've also seen situations where a very trivial act of kindness towards another person made the person happy and placed a big smile on their face.

Think... Isn't there a lesson to learn from those? As far as I can tell, I live my life by a golden rule: "Only treat people the way I would like to be treated by another person". It's as simple as that.

I don't ever wake up any day to make someone's life miserable and I'm not interested in being the reason for someone's reception of an unfair treatment, especially when the person didn't do anything to deserve getting treated unfairly. I believe that acts of deceit, inhumanity and display of undue bitterness towards someone else will never make this world a better place and I try as much as possible to never do any of that.

The things I do and enjoy doing is to support someone who's heading up a really good road. Whenever I see someone who's working hard and working genuinely, my instinct is always geared towards giving them any sort of support I can afford to give at that time. I also inspire people with my words and actions. I try to be kind although I have lessons to learn about kindness because I'm also a very firm believer in accountability and responsibility.

So, just because I'm kind and all, I'm very careful about who I extend it to because I wouldn't want to pat anyone on the back if the person isn't ready to work towards upholding really good standards in life. Life isn't that easy.

You'd know you can also make the world a better place, right?

Yeah. You are not an assemblyman in your country. You've probably never held any position in government. You may not have the power to do 'big things' towards making the world a better place. However, are you sure you are doing the 'little things' that are within your power?

Something as trivial as 'being nice' can help you make this world a better place for those around you. So, Be Nice.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.

Like this is a very good question, one I tell people who criticize those in power. I do tell them those in power are trying in their own best way, have they sat to ask themselves questions like where and how am I contributing to make this country better or they are still the same people that would want to receive 10,000 naira for election malpractices and after they will still sit back and complain.

I believe that acts of deceit, inhumanity and display of undue bitterness towards someone else will never make this world a better place.

At all, what many people fail to understand is that being nice is quality that can sustain a name for million years.
