Answers come in many ways

Smile and the world smiles with you.The news can get you down,to be honest missing the news will do everyone good.Keep Smiling.

Evil spreads like wildfire and peace, kindness and love can too, It is a matter of choice; choosing good over evil. We have the opportunity to choose many times during each and every day. I think that a smile and a kind word can change another’s day and that is for sure! I think if we all take took up the challenge,we may be able to could change the world!

Happy New Years and I am with you on generating peace. I myself make a point to smile all the time and say hello to everyone I meet or walk by. To me that is being polite,I was raised that way.I turn the news off most the time for I cannot take all the bad that is going on in our country.Especially in our economic times smiling and saying hello to everyone has given me much comfort and ya know I always get a smile and hello back..That is my start of giving everyone a little bit of good in there day.

I do believe that we can influence the spread of peace. I try to do it in little ways, one person at a time. I cheered up a cashier a few days ago after a customer had given her a hard time. She was so aggravated but she was smiling when I left, as was the person behind me in line. If everyone would make a stranger smile just once a day, I think the world wouldn't be so negative. When you give a smile, you benefit as well.

I think your right just the smallest things can make a difference. Just a smile or friendly nod of the head to a complete stranger can go along way. You never know the shoes a stranger is walking in and that smile may just bring them peace at a stressful time in thier life. I know for my son whom is in the military just some stranger saying the simple words , thanks for your service, brings so much peace to him just knowing someone cares what hes doing. We all need simple reminder to bring alittle peace everyday. What a great way to start the new year, i will be out smiling more today! Thanks :)

Happy New Year in return to you. I truly believe that your question may have been answered somewhat by history, itself. There was a man called Jesus, some believe that He was Divine and others believe He was just a man. People are always free to decide for themselves which He was ... but the one thing that there is no denying is that He truly changed the world by his compassion, caring, and kindness.

Hi savypat, My thoughts exactly, peace must begin in the heart of each individual. As we send that peace to others, we see the snowball effect and it can be quite exciting. More and more people are beginning to think this way and I expect to see many changes within the next decade. Blessings.

I think it can... :-) Happy New Year.

I've always believed strongly in the "ripple" effect...whether with good things or bad. I do indeed believe each one of us can make a good difference in this world. Happy New Year to you, too :)

dear pat, if only all people think of peace, if only people stop the greed, am sure the world is going to be the best place of all. Happy New Year! ann

i believe so, since there are multiple answer to a single questions...especially that asking about opinion or belief based answers....!
