Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
It's about making the world as close to heaven as possible. The world does not have to be the way it is. This is our world and it is made up of a lot of little people who individually can choose to be destructive or constructive.
A story of constructive
I remember when I went to a lake house when I was a younger more self centered version of my current self. I was all about having fun and doing what I wanted to do, not taking any care of anyone else or anything else. Now I wasn't a destructive delinquent teenager but I was doing what I wanted to do. Mostly eating.
The parental supervision unit that took me and others on this trip was working on the screen door of the lake house we were visiting. I asked him why he would do this. "This is not your house. The person who owns the house won't even notice that you fixed the screen door." His response.
I always try to leave a place in a better condition than how I found it.
This is something that has always stuck with me. Obviously since I am blogging about it.

The world would be a much better place if people followed that example. Unfortunately, I think that most people like the feeling of gratification they get when they do something for someone else. Why do something nice if you're not going to get rewarded?
