positive contribution

one could say a solid basis for non-conflict
would simply be not pissing people off.
this can be done passively and actively.
like keeping to yourself, or holding your tongue.
this can also be done reluctantly.
because some people try and start it,
and your ego has a hard time letting it go,
even when letting it go is the safest choice.

i want to organize a structure of positive creation of non-conflict.
a lifestyle of compassion and care for all the everythings.
sure it's been written and said and purported in all kinds of ways.
and pushed forward by all kinds of organizations and agendas too.
but let's cut all those strings and simplify it for our needs.

here's simple:
just care about people.
if something is wrong with someone, offer to help.
help as best you can without getting taken advantage of.
do good things within your means.
put yourself out there, but not too far out.
get along. stand on principles, but be flexible,
as long as nobody gets hurt.
get everyone home safe.

ideally, if these things are done all the time by everyone,
we as people don't create unhealthy, angry, and upset people.
if we don't inflict pain, the pained don't have it to share.
but we're in an imperfect world, and some people are messed up.
we have to deal with them, and if we do it human to human,
by giving and doing good to others, things may work out nicely.

and if they don't, you have your training. i hope.
