This Little Light of Mine

If I could change anything about the world, I would want everyone’s life to be pleasanter. (I’ve seen too many wish-gone-wrong movies to make too big a wish, but I’d feel safe with that!) If everyone’s life was pleasanter, that would make everything else just a little bit better too. Happier people go out of their ways to be kind to other people, are more helpful, and are pleasanter to be around. Happy people feel better about working, and about all the aspects of their lives. It won’t solve poverty, or illness, or war, but it can make the lives of those hardest hit easier, and it can make other people more likely to want to help.
