Live Green

You know how the whole world has become suddenly environmentally conscious and we're all focused on putting back what we take?

How about doing that with people?

How about we stop taking more from people than we're willing to give? That'd be a great start. It would be fantastic if people would stop and say "If I was them, would this be fair?"

I think that you shouldn't expect more out of people than you're willing to do for or give to them. For instance, I will never eat onions for anyone, I would never expect someone to eat something for me. I don't expect people not to eat anything for me either, but I would do that for them. For instance if someone in my life was allergic to peanuts, I would cut peanuts out of my diet for them.

Anyway, so many people take everything they can from other people around them. Attention, time, love, caring, etc. They never put that back.

I think if you want to live "green" you should start first by being "green" with the people you love. Treat them like you want to be treated by them. Give them more than you take. Don't take too much and leave them a barren wasteland incapable of caring about other people because you've exhausted their resources.


Just a thought!
