More peaceful than 20 years ago?

Do you think “our” world is more peaceful than it was 20 years ago? What about “your” world? Is it more peaceful today than it was 20 years ago? Because of the larger events happening around us, I’ve been pondering these questions. I don’t think our world is more peaceful than it was 20 years ago, although, it is difficult to know for sure. There are organizations that measure such things, but the answer is still not clear.

However, I do know that “my” world if much more peaceful now than it was even 5 years ago. I think this is because I’ve been pressing into things like service to others, compassion toward others, and gratitude for everyone and everything in my life.

If you’d like for “your” world to be more peaceful, here are a few tips for you: 1) keep a watchful eye on what you read/see, and 2) make sure the people you hang out with are peaceable, and 3) take a good look at service, compassion, and gratitude. Give it go.
