Try saying this silently to everyone and everything you see for thirty days: "I wish you happiness now and whatever will bring happiness to you in the future."
If we said it to the sky, we would have to stop polluting;
If we said it when we see ponds and lakes and streams, we would have to stop using them as garbage dumps and sewers;
If we said it to small children, we would have to stop abusing them, even in the name of training;
If we said it to people, we would have to stop stoking the fires of enmity around us.
Beauty and human warmth would take root in us like a clear, hot June day.
We would change.
