I proudly promise to live by the following rules:
1. I care
I see each person as my brother or sister in humanity, and I make sure that I contribute to a safe feeling for everyone around me. Whether they are woman or man, with a light or dark skin, thick or thin, whatever sexual orientation (provided in mutual and adult consent), atheist or adhering to a faith, or any other differences. I see the similarities as far greater than the differences, and if I don’t find the similarities, I will look for them, so that I find the lesson that the understanding of the differences contains.
If another does not have the same standards and values as I do, I will respect that (provided it is within local law).
2. I take care
I take care of myself and my children, to the best of my abilities. This may be taken for granted, but it means that I take care of my child as is best for my child; I also grant my child the other parent (even if I am divorced and have arguments between them); I actively check if my child is happy; I take good care of myself (then I can also take better care of my child); I check what my child needs and I remain patient and loving in my reactions (setting boundaries and being strict are definitely part of this too 😊).
I also promise to take care of all life on our beautiful planet, caring for the environment, picking up trash in the park, reducing plastic waste, etc.
3. I admire
I admire differences. Differences that I do not approve of or find difficult to understand, can have a lesson for me. People with other points of view are my mirrors. I promise to look at differences with an open mind and I am respectful. Perhaps I will learn something from them that will become dear to me.
4. I intervene
I promise to intervene when there is injustice, by making my voice heard, by addressing the situation, by physically intervening (provided it is safe for myself), by passing on information to restore justice and by not cooperating with any form of injustice. I will care enough for myself to keep myself safe, and I will care enough for others to help (not force) them standing up to injustice.
5. I sow positivity!
I actively seek positive acts, which make another and myself happy, by connecting and giving a positive impuls. “Pay it forward!”, by doing good deeds, passing on the sparks of inspiration to feel in contact with the Clan of Humans as a whole, to be more positive in life and start planting positive seeds. This is how we make our world safe and in harmony again, together !
