Friendship Leading World Peace
Culturizing
friendship with Self-esteem, honesty, sincerity, sacrifice mentality, mutual
respect, sharing, caring & concern may diminish the global crises with
unwanted tension while paving the way to sustainable world peace among all
humanity within the holistic spirit & universal value of brotherhood, solidarity, mutual cooperation
and respect by having no issue of one’s race, religion, colour, gender, status,
nationality or personality.
Socio-psychiatrists of the past and contemporary as well agree: strong social ties are a key -arguably the key-to happiness. You need close, long-term relationships; you need to be able to confide; you need to belong; you need to get and give support. Studies show that, if you have five or more friends with who to discuss an important matter you’re far more likely to describe yourself as “very happy.”Gretchen Rubin
But
making friends can be difficult. Here are some strategies to try:
1.
Self-esteem with honesty.
Keeping up a self-esteem personality with honesty among the domestic members,
community, society & socio-cultural networks so to create a confident and
trust in all around.2. Sacrifice mentality. Selfishness got no room in any peace keeping process or success story thus, sacrifice mentality shall be adapted as the natural culture in day to day life. This may auto-maintain a friendly society with prosperity and harmony.
3. Mutual respect with utmost sharing, caring & concern. Honouring the rights of others as to life, blood, religion, dignity, wealth, culture & thoughts may easily solve the unhealthy differences and crises. Thus, utmost sharing, caring and concern among fellow-mankind may be the key to holistic friendship towards a desired world peace.
4. Show up. Just as Woody Allen said that “Eighty percent of success is showing up,” a big part of friendship is showing up. Whenever you have the chance to see other people, take it. Go to the party. Stop by someone’s desk. Make the effort. I'm a big believer in the power of online tools like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to help sustain relationships, but nothing can replace a face-to-face meeting. Gretchen Rubin
5. Join a group. Being part of a natural group, where you have common interests and are brought together automatically, is the easiest way to make friends: starting a new job, taking a class, having a baby, joining a congregation, or moving to a new neighborhood. If those aren’t an option, try to find a different group to join. Get a dog, for example. Or pursue a hobby more seriously. Gretchen Rubin
6. Form a group. If you can’t find an existing group to join, start a group based around something that interests you. My children's literature reading groups – (yes, now I’ve helped start three of these groups) are among the top joys of my life. Movies, wine, cheese, pets, marathon-training, a language, a worthy cause…I know people in all these sorts of groups. You can start a Happiness Project group! (If you want the starter kit, to help launch a group. Gretchen Rubin
7. Say nice things about other people. It’s a kind way to behave; also, studies show that because of the psychological phenomenon of spontaneous trait transference, people unintentionally transfer to you the traits you ascribe to other people. If you say that Pat is hilarious, you’ll be linked to that quality. Gretchen Rubin
8. Make an effort to smile. Big surprise, studies show that the amount of time you smile during a conversation has a direct effect on how friendly you’re perceived to be. In fact, people who can’t smile due to facial paralysis have trouble with relationships. Gretchen Rubin
9. Make friends with friends-of-friends. “Triadic closure” is the term for the fact that people tend to befriend the friends of their friends. So friends-of-friends is an excellent place to start if you’re trying to expand your circle. Gretchen Rubin
10. Avoid Backbiting, Gossiping, Lying, Unjustifiable Criticism & Self-satisfaction. Among the dangerous factors of ruining the spirit of friendship are backbiting, gossiping and unjustifiable criticism about others, habitual lying and concern about self-satisfaction. Hence, to witness a world peace in reality, it shall be among the prime concern at any level of mankind to avoid (as the self-commitment) the highlighted moral or physical hazards.
11. Wisdom. Upholding professionalism with standard manner in dealing and treating fellow-mankind may create mutual trust and confident among all in view of meaningful friendship as a key to happiness.
What other strategies have you used to help build friendship? And what challenges have you faced? The ones I hear the most are 1) lack of time and 2) new place with no network to draw upon. What about you? Gretchen Rubin
