In life there are certain constants.
Once we understand rather than fear them, and become aware of rather than
ignore them, life becomes easier.

These constants are traditionally general,
and can hence be personal and applicable to our everyday life.
One constant is that humans everywhere
are connected together, thus the famous phrase “humanity connects us all”.
Much
like the care and attention one provides to oneself, one’s relation with others
should be built on bases of respect and care, believing in the fact that if we
deliberately inflicted pain on others, we are actually harming part of
ourselves.
Living in love is another constant. Personally, I perceive love as the cure to many,
if not all, of today’s agonies, both at the social and personal levels.
If realized,
its presence and importance in our daily lives, nourish and feed it — we will
be able to reach balanced thinking and behavior.
Love serves societies as much as laws
and regulations do, and thus should become the foundation on which our daily
matters are executed.
The difference is that while laws and regulations are
forced, living in love is done willingly, and lasts much longer.
Some people talk
about several types of love but all eventually mean sincerity, honesty,
charity, assisting, and trust.
It is the equivalent in meaning to
citizenship.
The opposite of love is never hate.
It can be indifference, but it surely is corruption.
Another constant is the human path
of maturity; growing up and moving ahead, similar to strong tree branches.
In some
cases, branches show signs of weakness, or catch diseases. These are either
treated in the early stages or better cut off.
Hence is the focus on youth, the future
generations.
The more we invest in their morals and their mental and physical
heath, the brighter the future will look. There is always a discussion on
improving education, correcting the curricula, and training educators, which is
all important, but not enough. Only when able to succeed in investing in
students’ mind, body, and soul, and perceive these three as one unit, only then
we will succeed.
The power of positive words. Each of us is in need of genuine appreciation,
applause, praise, and encouragement.
Something good can be said to everyone at
any time. Thus, healthy societies are
the flourishing ones, in which respect and appreciation are rooted.
And so, in our path for social correction,
the focus and the attention should not be concentrated on what is already
deformed and distorted, but rather on acquiring new methods guided by the
constants, reviving the riches of the past, and living up to the promises of
tomorrow.
