RE: The Deadpost Initiative - Week 39 - Share your most undervalued work ($16 STEEM rewards last week)
Grateful with this wonderful contest.
Here I bring you my new entry: Be part of the solution
One of the fundamental tools that we have when we are in the midst of conflicts is our ability to listen to others.

Great post, well presented, beautifully illustrated. Being part of the solution may be as simple as abstaining oneself from dropping a plastic cup in the street, and yet for some people that is too hard to do. Imagine then what it would mean for them to pick up someone else's cup, or cleaning a street just for the sake of wanting it to look clean, or avoid a discussion, or provide an idea to improve a given situation.
Family values play an important part in rasing citizens who would be willing to contribute to society; education is another factor, reading and being in contact with other people's views/cultures/values help put things in perspective; a society where laws are enforced and justice prevails is also important.
Nothing deters people from walking the extra mile (when intrinsic motivation fails) than doing it in a system that will not even notice it, let alone reward it.
We must always be part of the solution, and not ignore reality. Very good post friend, regards!
