The world can turn around for the better soon. Following Donna sample would help:
"Donna shares her thoughts:
“My advice to people or words of wisdom to people is to understand that everything happens for a reason. My dream when I was sixteen was to move to NYC and go to college there. I didn’t have the opportunity, but thank God (or whoever/whatever) because I ended up meeting my best friend, Holly. If I had gone anywhere else I never would have met my soul mate. In the next 5, 10, 15 years I hope that people can start to look outside themselves and start to really embrace the idea of community. I hope I’m still best friends with Holly, happily married, with children – laughing and enjoying life.”

Donna talks of community and of enjoying life. Where about Tony? Well, Tony in his own way mirrors Donna attitudes on life by saying:
“What I’ve learned is life is not all about me! me! me! We all need to realize that there are other people out there; we need to be patient with each other, many in the same position as ourselves, or having greater difficulties. Good people who are just trying to make ends meet financially and in taking care of their families.”
And then Tony sums it up by saying, “I just try to live by the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
At this point, if I would have a question for Tony on this perspective, I would say “So if someone treats you bad, does that give you permission to treat the world poorly?”
“Absolutely not,” he would reply, “You treat others the way you would like to be treated.”
That said, Tony, with the full support of Donna, together summed up that :
“The future, I’d like to see a day where people are simply getting along, not judging each other by race, age, ethnicity, religion, wealth or political view. Just accepting each other for who they are and being able to to either agree or disagree with kindness.”

Happy holidays my friends.
May 2012 bring us all health, happiness, prosperity and Guidance towards what is noble.
