CHANGING FOR THE BETTER

CHANGING FOR THE BETTER

Dear Friends,

Change is the truth of human existence!

So, to live a purposeful human life we all need to embrace changes but we should go for the better changes not for the worse.

So, it is always a wise thing to constantly think about changing for the better in our existing systems either in family, customs, religion, social, political, business, technical, administration or whatever.

Towards these positive changes, let us consider some of the better changes we can embrace by now as below:

1. SELFISHNESS TO BENEVOLENCE: Changing from selfishness to self-interest i.e. doing things in our best self interest; while doing so serving the best self-interest of all as well i.e. live & let live for all happily.

2. INDIVIDUALITY TO HUMANITY: Changing our identifications based on religion, race, nationality, caste, creed or origin to the identification of a human being either good or bad and if bad helping one another to become good thus creating good humanity of various diversities living together in love & harmony.

3. RELIGION TO SPIRITUALITY: Changing our identifications of belonging to a particular religion to the identification of us all belonging to one universal religion of God i.e. Spirituality i.e. following the same spiritual truths taught us by all the prophets of God from time to time, thus solving the problems of disunity/rivalry/fights/war among the different religions of the world.

4. SUPERSTITIONS TO LAW OF KARMA: Changing the superstitious belief systems that the reactions of our bad deeds can be annulled by performing rituals or by idolatry or temple worship or chanting of mantras or confessing to the priest or rotating the wheels or praying five times a day or dipping in the Ganges river or sacrificing animals or even human sacrifices; instead believing in the infallible Law of Karma that one gets for what one does, thus motivating people to do good for themselves & to all so as to live a good & happy life for themselves & for all.

5. NATIONAL TO INTERNATIONAL: Changing our mindset of national ego to international spirit of doing benevolent services to the humanity as a whole instead of confining to the particular group of people under the spirit of nationalism thus considering the whole world as a nation of nations.

6. SEPARATION TO UNITY: Changing our false egos of separation & individual/group gains to the true egos of elevating ourselves spiritually by cultivation spiritual/good qualities and practicing them for the overall human happiness & welfare for all.

7. FLESH-FOOD TO VEGETARIANISM: Changing of our food habits to vegetarianism instead of flesh-food that initiates to kill animals, birds, fishes etc; that accumulates the bad karma of killing beings that surely returns back to the human society in the form of violence, fights, killings, wars etc.

8. CENTRALIZATION TO DECENTRALIZATION: Changing the policies of developing only some big cities around the world thus creating all kinds of congestions, pollutions, slums & various other management problems; instead to decentralise these development projects to the towns, villages & countryside spreading the facilities & infrastructures in a balanced way so that all people can live happily & comfortably wherever they dwell thus solving the problems of both the cities & the villages.

9. MALE TO FEMALE CHILD OR BOTH: Changing the mindset of favouring the male child to the female child resulting in foeticide, selective abortion, killing at birth or later of the female child towards the true understanding that  females are more important human beings than the males simply because they are the people who are keeping the humanity to continue by giving birth to children; they have comparatively more spiritual qualities of love & peace that humanity needs very badly to exist in happiness; they are the home-makers the very units of human society and so our mindset of giving more or equal importance to the female child is of utmost importance.

10. DIFFERENCES TO COMPLEMENTARY: Changing the mindset of prejudice & hatred based on religion, race, nationality, caste, creed or origin towards the love for the humankind as a whole appreciating our differences as complements to make the perfect whole and sharing our talents, services & contributions toward running the world society smoothly & happily.

11. CONCENTRATION TO DISTRIBUTION: Changing the system of world’s wealth being accumulated & controlled by a few mega rich people toward distributing them in a balanced way to all the needy people in the world thus enabling all humanity to live a dignified life.

12. INJUSTICE TO JUSTICE: Changing the system of the misuse of power by the government & the rich/powerful people practicing injustice towards the mass-majority denying their rights, suppressing & exploiting them that culminated in the birth of extremists, separatists, underground-fighters and terrorists; instead uphold the justice & equity while dealing with the mass-majority.

13. CORRUPTION TO HONESTY: Changing the practice of corruption, nepotism, party politics, favouritism towards transparency, honesty, fairness, quality, suitability, compatibility, worthiness etc of the people keeping in mind for the highest good of all while appointing anybody for any post in the government services.

14. RESERVATION TO ALLEVIATION OF POVERTY: Changing the reservation policy that favours the people of reserved categories with inferior quality to hold public posts instead of appointing the well qualified people, in the name of improving the underdeveloped people in the society is undesirable in the best interest of all; rather government should make policies based on the poverty level of the people irrespective of their social categories and implement policies to alleviate their poverty level with financial assistance, free education, subsidised housing, food etc.

15. BAD TO GOOD ELECTED PEOPLE: Changing the election system of allowing criminals & illiterates to stand for general elections & get elected towards the setting of minimum qualifications required for the people who can fight the general elections like people with no criminal records, educated & computer literate etc.

16. COLONIAL TO DEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS: Changing the Education, Police, Legal & Administrative systems that still blindly follow some/many of colonial rules & regulations, attitudes towards more democratic, people friendly rules & regulations, laws.

17. OLD TO NEW SOCIAL HABITS: Changing the mindset of people’s sticking to their old & outdated cultures/traditions in terms of body decorations with jewelleries, body piercings, tattoos, overdone dresses, rituals, ceremonies etc towards simpler, healthier, natural, more comfortable & convenient dresses, social habits and social functions.

18. BEGGING TO WORKING: Changing the mindset of false renunciations, living beggar’s life without personal hygiene & cleanliness and that too, many of them, in the name of spirituality and society allowing such people to live as parasites instead of encouraging them to contribute to the society positively by discharging their duties properly & sincerely and living as dignified humans.

19. ENEMIES TO FRIENDS: Changing the mindset of keeping enemies & living in fear & wasting billions of money for defence & war instead of being friendly with all the people/countries nay living the whole world as one friendly country thus saving all the money being wasted for the defence & war and use them for the welfare activities for the humanity as a whole.

20. PARTY TO SPIRITUAL DEMOCRACY: Changing the present party democracy system to spiritual democracy system where there is no need for any/many political parties or even if there are they all co-operate to take the right decisions for the highest good of all without selfish party interests by electing good/spiritual people as leaders.

21. HAPPINESS OF SOME TO ALL: Changing people’s purpose of life directing towards the happiness of themselves as well as the happiness of all instead of the selfish kind of happiness where some powerful/rich people make themselves happy by exploiting the majority and keeping the majority deprived & poor.

Happiness for all!
