Make the World Safe for Children

Menstuff® looks a life-mission and why you were placed on this earth. See also BumperStickers.

I had been working in the world for over fifteen years "To be a major factor in the elimination of male violence in the universe." A statement, refined over time, where each word had importance and meaning. During a weekend training I attended back in 1990, however, my little boy spoke to me and my mission took a dramatic shift. It became transformed, as my work has since then, into: "Make the World Safe for Children". With that in mind, I ask you to see what part you play in all of this.

The decisions you make everyday effect life as we know it on this planet. Here are some things you can do:

• Look at the way you are in the world, how you release or stuff your anger, how you treat strangers, friends, loved ones, children. Are you a good role model for children and other adults? What if every decision and action you made, at home, at work and in the world was based on making the world safe for children?
• Take a moment to day-dream: what kind of a world would that be? What would it look like? Are you willing to actively help create that world?
• Look at your personal commitment to the environment, your health (both physical and mental), exercise and the food you eat. Stop putting off those decisions to "get healthy".
• Copy this letter and mail or fax it to all your friends and relatives asking them to do the same.
• Send a letter to politicians at the federal, state and local level encouraging them to make only those decisions that insure a world safe for children.
• Encourage children through school and church to send a letter (1) to President Clinton asking him to make only those decisions that insure a world safe for children and (2) to their parents asking them to "Make this world a safe place for me in everything you do".
• Use resources at your disposal - local bulletin boards at grocery stores, laundromats, the office, on computers, etc. to spread the word.

Men and fathers do care. Do you? If so, get actively involved in any way you can to see to it that change happens.

Think about it! Then do something about it - TODAY! It's not too late! And, if you think of additional things to add to this list, let us know. - Gordon Clay (See also What Have You Done for You Lately.)
