Et nytt år

Et nytt år er så vidt i gang. Nye muligheter. Blanke ark. Massevis av fargestifter.

Her er noen spørsmål fra Patch Adams det kan være verdt å stille seg ved inngangen av det nye året. Og la seg i det minste inspirere - og kanskje til og med si ja til et av dem...

  1. If no one wants to end up in a nursing home, what kind of community can celebrate all ages together and honor elders?
  2. Could you choose at least one child you're not related to and give them the time and care they need?
  3. If compassion and generosity were the measure of success that money and power are now, how would your life change?
  4. In order to bond your neighborhood in healthy interdependence you would need to host weekly potlucks. Would you?
  5. If being publicly joyful, even silly, were beneficial for our society, would you participate?
  6. If you have rooms at your home, why not take in single parents as a gift?
  7. How can we move to an economics of friendship?
  8. Could you do ten or more volunteer hours each week to make a healthier world?
  9. Do you dare to be universally friendly to end violence?
  10. Can you match the cost of everything you buy with a donation to an environmental sustainability project?
