No matter what our religious beliefs we need to start educating our children about how we are dependent on one another and on our planet. This simple fact cannot be over emphasized, include a strong curriculum of world culture and history the more we know about one another the less likely we are to cause harm to one another.
We are not Americans, Iranians, Iraqis, Mexicans anymore we are Human beings bound together by this fragile planet.

Empathy and hope. If more people could actually imagine what it's like to walk in another's shoes, they would be more mindful of their actions. And if people spent more time trying to become the best versions of themselves than accumulating more and more stuff, the world could really be a different place. Start small. From now on, when you meet someone new, don't ask them what they do, ask them who they are. I know I'd rather meet kindness personified than another lawyer or stockbroker. How about you?

Nomore Slefish acts.
We do everything to 'help' us but end up losing everything else - there goes the ozone layer.. and still does. "I, i, i" - be it singular or a group - has lead to more deaths then ever - simply refelct on the reason why wars ever happened. Aaacks, even Alexander the Great wanted to be the ruler of everything else. Ohh, how wonderful Africa would be now without all that selfishness since then till now.

Population control.
I hate to sound like a like a villain or something, but most of our conflicts stem from there being too many people and not enough resources to go around. It we go our population to a sustainable level, we could all live better and more peacefully.

A world with equal toereance for all others, where we're not competing to be better, and have more money, and more control. Less corrupt government that will do more for the people and less for themselves.

If mankind would be more kind. If people would learn to love themselves & in turn love others. Instead of hating & destroying themselves & then projecting their anger & fear out toward others. This would solve most of the world's problems. Evil grows out of hatred. Hatred of self & in turn, hatred of others. Look at Hitler. The holocaust could have been pretend if one frightened self-loathing little failure of a man had learned to love himself. Instead he focused his rage outward & made it his mission to destroy the Jewish people. Show me a serial killer & I'll show you someone with no self-esteem & a history of childhood abuse.

Giving the time of day to a total stranger
ie: hello - how's it going, good morning/afternoon etc...
nothing too earth-shattering ...but a bit of a personal start

Above all: the destruction of narcissism or self-love which in the end is nothing more than self punishment.
