Three ways to make the world a better place: Scotland

I don’t think I’ve got much very original to add here – merely echoing other people’s sentiments but here goes:

1. Be more tolerant of people’s differences. We should celebrate our differences (it’s what makes the world such a diverse place) rather than fear the unknown.

2. Be more forgiving. When people do something to hurt you they usually haven’t deliberately set out to hurt you. So let go of all the grudges you hold against others who have wronged you, move on and forgive them.

3. An appropriate one for those of us who are celebrating Christmas. Be less materialistic. Things never made people happy. Take a moment to think of the real meaning of Christmas. For me, it’s about thinking of loved ones – family and friends - not receving piles of presents.
