Hmm. Nice last task. I think that long term is most important,
I will try to act more glad and positive towards everybody I meet. I am very positive and glad but to spread it all the times, because I really think that makes a lot of difference, also for me.
To spread happiness is what I believe is the biggest difference we can make for others. We can always make ourselves better, but to tell other what to do is not going to do much I think.
I will also to try to help others more. I always think that the world isn't helpful enough so it's stupid not to try to do that myself.
For short term, I guess that except from the same as the long term, I could take all the stuff at home that I don't want to keep to some sort of collecting charity or similar to get it useful and helpful somewhere,
so i'll do that! :)
HAVE A NIIIIIIIIIIICE SUMMER all!

Inner peace
For me, inner peace will always be closely related to 'no worries'. Whether it depends on events in life or the actual choice, like in the song Don't Worry Be Happy, the inner happiness will be determined by how much more to be glad about than to be angry about. Of course there is stuff you can't control, dear friends or family members dying or getting very sick for example. But what I really want to say, is that you will always be able to choose the better perspective to everything that happens to you in life. I even think that sadness is something beautiful that we can share with close ones. One way to put the choice of perspective is of course the classical saying "always look on the bright side of life". Optimism and positive spirit is obviously also related. Again don't misunderstand this as saying you aren't allowed to see the sad parts in life, no question that being totally open is the best, you are not supposed to ignore and close your eyes, what you really are choosing is what to do with what happens in your life. Admit that the world isn't perfect and then on the other hand see all the amazing great wonderful that there is. The feeling of being here together, even when struggling. Passion and love is not without torns, everybody knows that. So choose! And live life! :)

Why isn’t it easy to have peace?
There are four words that can explain pretty much all of the disagreement in the world, and therefore the biggest part of the lack of peace. Those words are; the distribution of resources. In a world without limits on the supply of resources, there wouldn’t of course be any problem at all for us to deal with in this perspective, we would have everything everyone needed and wanted in terms of material things. As we don’t, who gets what will always be the ultimate challenge.
I am mainly focusing on the global distribution, who gets what when it comes to water, food, other well-being necessities and everything above the basic need? We all know that in our time, this seems unfairly done. Some countries do not have water while others suffers from sicknesses because of having too much of the worlds gifts. But then, who is to decide what new rules and distribution standards should be applied? As we already have a system, it would be an overwhelmingly complex thing to set an actual way of global distribution based on the average values of the human race. Not only that everybody’s opinion would have to be secured, but to make a compromise in combining all those thoughts, ideas and ideals seems impossible. So instead we continue to use groups, like countries, communities, and so on. We are placing larger amounts of people into groups and then continually in a group somewhat decide what the best interest of that separate group is, using representative leadership which is backed up by a majority. Now, the distribution depends on what potential resources the countries have, and how good and effective they are at extracting them. It is the easiest thing to understand that we become divided instead of one world unit here. That is one reason of the “unfair” distribution. Another thing is ignorance. Even if you really think it should be a fairer world, you aren’t voting for a world community, at the top level for your country. This leads to that you fool yourself to not care how much we help other countries and communities, because we narrow our focus. Of course there is foreign aid and likewise, but I think that this attempt to even out the possessions wouldn’t even exist if the whole humanity had a common ruling. It’s easy to say now of course, that if that was the case we would be better off in the hard task of distribution. But I say that it would still be beneficial to try to work get a common ruling for the world. I’m not talking about global organizations like the UN, I mean a world government. If we could achieve this fundamentally huge change in our system, the number one task we have to face in order to maintain peace, the distribution of resources, would be so much easier.
