Civic Dispositions

Your values are what you give worth to. Values determine where you spend your time, energy and money. Your values, where you realize it or not, influence your daily choices and what's most important to you. If you are spending your time doing nothing, listening to bad music, watching innapropriate TV shows, getting in fights on facebook, you won't make as good of choices as the person who works, laughs, loves, sings, listens to uplifting music, serves, and smiles. Let's make our lifes full of happiness.

With one little action, the chain reaction will never stop. Make us strong.

Compassion

Compassion: Caring. Helping. Loving.
So, compassion. I love it when people are compassionate. You might not agree, but it is amazing. Compassion is charity.
Charity is simple. Charity is poor. Charity is plain.
Compassion and charity doesn't need to be some huge, expensive, beautiful gift. (Even though we all love gifts, right?) Just a smile can brighten someones day in ways you wouldn't understand.
Some people are miserable. It's sad. Some people never smile. Most people don't feel like they belong anywhere. Most people are self-concious. Just a smile and a hug can make people feel good about themselves. Just saying that So&So looks nice can make people want to be around you.
Everyone loves the person who is charitable, compassionate, kind, and caring. Everyone wants to be around that person.
So be that person that people find a great role-model, that people want to be around, that people trust, that people like.
And remember, a word is just a word until you mean what you say.
Compassion isn't overrated.
