    Default Help your neighbours

    Essentially, as you see, there is much distress going on in our society today (and in the world). Many ask themselves what to do, many don't. Some think the solution is war. Many that it is pacifism. Many that it is free market, others socialism.

    For those who ask this question, one easy thing to do is to help others. The more you help others, the more you produce a good effect on society. Psychologically, it has been proven that those who have been helped, are more likely to help others. Thus help creates a positive chain of effects (like Buddhism has been telling us since its beginning).

    It doesn't matter what you believe when you help them. It may be God, or nothing. But helping others is a good thing to do, in any case. And something which you can do now.

    we'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
    Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
    Wouldn't be gone like the wind
    If the World had a front porch, like we did back then"

    First I want to say Great topic..
    IT true if you help each other you will feel better about life..(unless your really mean).. When someone need money I always give them want the need or as much as I can.. Dumb yes.. But it a helpful and if I ever need money I can always and get it back..

    I dont know if this would go under Help your neighbours but I have to ask.. If your really in to god.. and with the death penatly how can that be.. I mean almost every realigon says to fovgive and love.. The only way you can get rid of hate is love stuff.. But then why do you give in to your emontion and kill the person that killed someone close to you or someone that you dont even know.. Why would you want to see that one family or friends feel as horrible as you do or someone close to you.. Like someone sayed "A eye for a Eye the world goes blind" then how about the the new testment saying Always turn a other cheeck.. with voilence(I know I spelled wrong sorry) I have learned with my 16 years of life.. That if you dont hit back but get up and actually turn the other cheeck and help them you gain alot more respect from everyone.. So just a thought

    You don't kill in the Death Sentence out of emotion, or at least you shouldn't. The only reason you should use it is to try to use it as a deterent to prevent more murders from happening.

    Sorry for going Off-Topic.

    On Topic: I believe you should help your neighbors, that is why I believe in my political beliefs in relation to foreign policy.

    was mine off topic.. I mean really it had something to do with others..well I mean death penalty to me is doing a eye for a eye.. and alot of people are in to that.. but I never want to be on a level of them..no I dont mean like that.. I am on there level everyone is on the same level it just that killing someone is the worse thing you can do..
