Here are a few more ideas that would improve society.
My PhilosophyThink of the future. Think about the effect your actions will have on tomorrow, next month, next year, the next ten year, the next hundred years, and the next thousand years. Commit to the nourishment of the next generation. Commit your time and resources to the nourishment of the next generation. Learn what the needs of children really are, our assumptions are often wrong. Work to improve the lives of all humans. Look beyond yourself. What you do to others will be returned to you. Do what you would wish that all other people would also do. Consider what the world would be like if all people did what you do. In all things consider and balance the needs of yourself, your family, your neighbors, your country, all humanity, and all life. Live modestly. Humans have certain needs, but our true needs for food and shelter are modest. Let your satisfaction come from within. We must be vigilant that we are not acquiring material things that are not really needed. Live based on truth and reality. Be willing to see the world as it really is. Be willing to see yourself as you really are. Be willing to change what you do not like about yourself. Do not blame others for what happens to you. Learn to recognize manipulation and avoid it.

Likewise, we should expect that others will not condemn us for the same reasons. NonviolenceIf we are tolerant, then we cannot promote violence against those that have different philosophies. Likewise, if we are peaceful we should expect others to be peaceful toward us. Violence Against ViolenceThose who use violence against the peaceful should be opposed with violence. This is the only case where violence is justified. If violence must be used, then be prepared to completely overpower an enemy. But violence is a last resort when all other means have failed, sometime violence can be prevented by early nonviolent intervention.
