Why can't people be nice to each other and just get along? I get that people need to express their feelings, but there comes a point where common courtesy should win out. I'm not saying that people need to lie to each other for the sake of "being nice", but there's a fine line between being honest and being just plain mean. I also don't understand why people think that revenge is a good thing to do. So many things could be done instead of trying to get back at the "other guy". For example, certain countries, instead of fighting, could be putting their time and energies into solving bigger problems like world hunger and human rights issues. Can't people learn to coexist peacefully? We're all really the same kind of beings. If you cut any one of us, we all bleed red. We all have feelings and needs, so why can't people understand that just because someone believes something different, it's not a bad thing? If people stopped fighting, we could all have world peace. Wouldn't that be nice?
             I just wish that people could learn to put aside their own differences and try to be considerate of others for once. I hope that people will eventually wake up and try to help their neighbor rather than try to one-up them. I know that there are considerate people in this world, but I fear that the number of inconsiderate people outnumber them. I would like to challenge others as well as myself to become kinder to and more considerate of others. Just a few small actions could really begin to make the world a better place.          
              Why do people purposefully poke the anthill? There's no logical reason for doing so. Take for example, the anti-Muslim video released just a short time ago. I realize that there are stupid people out there who have no common sense, but was the video really necessary? Didn't they realize the potential effects of their actions? Whatever happened to the old adage "think before you act"? We have free speech, but just because we have it, doesn't mean that we need to use it to harm others.
              I only have one last thing to say. If you see a kind action anywhere, pay it forward. Who knows, it might make someone's day a little bit better.
