The goodwill towards men and women needs some work.

I was reading “A Charlie Brown Christmas” to my son the other evening, and towards the end of the book Linus says:

“For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be to all people… and on earth peace, good will toward men. That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown!”.

My son loves the book, which has a beautiful message, but it made me think that the world is so far from being at peace. Goodwill toward men and women is not exactly being achieved either.

When we say Christmas is about peace, love, and joy, why aren’t we living the sentiment year-round and really trying to achieve it?

There is still so much hate. Ongoing wars and conflicts are happening around the world right now. Human rights are being violated. Individuals can’t even be nice to each other on social media. Because of the internet’s anonymity, there is constant judgment and trolling.

There is a lot of good in the world, but we need to do better. We all have to try and stand up for peace and goodwill to men and women, or it will just remain a cliché.

“The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.” – Mahatma Gandhi
