Be Open
Our world is complex and we like to reduce that complexity by drawing on our prefabricated opinions or stereotypes – sometimes more, sometimes less. It’s refreshing to acknowledge that and to keep being open to people and differing views.
Be Sensitive
In our daily rush, it is hard enough to take notice of the people around us – and to see and hear them as fellow human beings. Even better though, when we do take notice and care.
Be Forgiving
Human beings are sometimes uncaring and hurt other humans. An apology that is being accepted is the path to reconciliation. It needs both parties though.
Be Fun
No one wants to run around like a chechire cat all day long but when the situation allows it, just give another person a smile and the spark leaps over.
Be You
We strongly believe that human beings are principally good – meaning that even when that’s not always showing, deep down we want to be good. Right, so just be YOU.
Share Good Vibes
You experienced something good – a RA moment? Go ahead and share it with friends and family and shout the positive experience out into the world. In social media, you can use the following hashtags for your stories:
#respactivist, #ramoment, #thedifferenceisineachofus
And yes, the idea is to only share positive human encounters. There is enough bad news out there already.
