Treat others well and you'll be happier in the future

We now live in a world of high technology where life style has changed to a totally different way compared to the past. People have less direct communication because they depend most on tech products to communicate like mobile phone, laptop, etc.

Never forget that we are not alone, but there are still many people around us. If you give yourself a deep thought, you probably will realize that human relation has become looser and looser. Neighbors don't really know each other very well, especially in urban area. In suburban area where people still attach to some traditional custom, this relation still remains.

We need to start the care to others if we want to get along well with them, live in harmony with them. However, this is not easy. To start treating others well, we should start from our family. Many people don't really treat their family members well. Sometimes they treat outsiders even better. The Chinese people have a saying like this:

"Cultivate yourself, manage the family, then the country, and bring peace to the world"
