A Principle to Keep

If our world ever came into a post apocalyptic state, some principles that would be necessary to hold on to would be kindness and forgiveness. In a world where there is nothing left, we should not simply make things worse by acting cruel toward one another. When there are only few people left, one would probably want the accompaniment of another. By maintaining friendly attitudes, humanity could stay in tact. One act of kindness would be to share resources. Although one might feel that it is an “every man for himself” situation, you would be more likely to succeed in surviving if you are not alone. As far as forgiveness goes, you should always forgive your peers and treat another as you would want to be treated. As I said before, everyone needs to work with one another instead of against one another. Think of it this way: What if, in our modern day, people did not speak kind words? What if people did not use manners, or did not apologize for their wrongs, or did not accept apologies? However, most people are polite to other people these days. But, what if we stopped showing kindness or forgiveness when our world needed it most? Our world would turn to even more chaos. There would be no trust, no loyalty, no friendship. Many people would not be able to survive on their own. If you ask me, an overall good attitude is the most important principle. One smile can go a long way.
