How do you use your "moral force" to make a difference?

I used to have the outlook, that I am just one person, so therefore, can't really make a difference.  The older I get, the more I realize this isn't really true.  If everyone had that same view, then nothing would get done in this world to make a difference in someone else's life.  As a nurse, I try to give the best care that I can to my patients, and by educating them on taking better care of themselves, I feel that I may be helping others in the long run.  I take care of many elderly patients as well, and though they may not need any medical attention at that particular moment, I will just sit at their bedside (if they are open to this), to talk with them, or to just hold their hand, to simply let them know that someone cares.  I volunteer my time as a nurse, to help with community health fairs, and traveled to San Antonio last September, to help with the Hurricane Katrina victims.  I think that I gain as much, or more from helping in these types of things, as the people that need the help.  I also donate blood, and am on the bone marrow donor list, in the hopes of helping someone.\n\nAnother way that I like to volunteer, is by simply picking up trash where ever I go.  I have a dog, and we take him walking everyday.  I began to notice one day many years ago, that trash is a prevalent problem, everywhere.  I started carrying a bag with me, a pair of gloves, and a long stick with a point on the end to help reach items of trash that I couldn't otherwise reach, and quickly developed the habit of picking up trash.  I've had many wonderful comments from others that have observed this habit of mine.  I only wish that more people would be concerned enough, not to leave trash lying around. \n\nI'm not sure that anything I described above, is what you were exactly referring to in your question, but I feel very strongly that we should all give of our time if we are able to do so.  Simply being able to help one person, can be so very rewarding.  I also realize that I chose nursing as my careeer, and that I am paid to give the care that I do, but I  tend to gain much more from just "being there" for the patients that have no one else, than I do from the more technical aspects of nursing.\n\nAfterthought... I'm not looking for any recognition or praise for anything that I've done, or do; I'm merely trying to make a point.

By encouraging others to make a difference as well, live as you want people to live, and give as you want people to give!\n\nI'm not a Catholic, but I saw part of a doco on Mother Theresa the other day, and OMG she did so many good things for people - people no one else would touch with a barge pole, and when she did these good things, others followed!\n\nMaybe you could read up on Mother Theresa, I'm not trying to push religion on you by any means, but read about her life and her works, and perhaps try to emulate some of that!

I say, keep fighting the good fight. You may not be able to change the world, but don't let it change you. The more of us who live by this creedo, the more likely it is that we will change the way people think. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know that somewhere down the line you actually saved a life?

How can YOU improve OUR quality of life....\nLead by example  :-)  Use your manners, be socially acceptable, dress appropriately, act appropriately.  Choose your words carefully, apologize where apologies are due.  Turn the other cheek.  Be forgiving.  Learn from your mistakes.  Don't blow things out of proportion (ex.  Me, when something bad happens:  Well, that sucked.  What's next?).  Refuse to engage in conflict, especially petty conflict.  Express your opinion, but do it nicely.  Make your morals and values known, but only if they're not highly controversial.  Don't waste your time trying to change other people, because it's not your problem.  Don't waste your days away trying to fix their problems, because they're not yours to fix.\nEverything in moderation; this is not simply superficial  ;-)

Get involved with campaigns. Join the young ________s in your area. They will start you out putting up posters, registering voters and raising funds, unless you have connections.\n\nOh, almost forgot, have your morals surgically removed.

You don't need to. Just believe in youself. Believe in things you consider are morally right. Believe in what your heart says.
