Humans are social animals! And being a social animal doesn’t mean to live a life where you may live in a society, but stay separated, all engrossed by walls. Being a member of society means staying connected with other people, contributing to the well-being of society, and doing something for the good of humanity.
We have to die one day; we know that. But ask yourself, is the purpose of your life just to eat, sleep, get a degree, earn a few bucks, have a family, and then die? Well, hopefully, your answer is ‘no’. Then shouldn’t you be living a more meaningful life? Something, like becoming an active member of society, while digging out new and true meanings of life.
Here are given a few ways you can play your role of a social animal in a better way:
Stay Up-to-Date with the Latest Happenings
Living in a cocoon, while being cut off from the outer world, is one of the worst things you do as a member of the society – and as a nation at large. Keeping your eyes closed and not knowing what is going around; contribute to letting the evil and wrong prevail. Stay up-to-date with the news; keep an eye on happenings around you. Use your eyes and ears for society’s good as well – it is your responsibility!
Contribute to Discourse Formation
Societies don’t change while staying quiet and sticking to the same out-dated thinking patterns. Changes always demand individuals to break the barriers of thoughts, take a different route of thinking, and utter out their thoughts.
So, share your opinions, discuss with others, and contribute to a discourse that can set as a foundation to sow the seed of change in the minds of people. Your words never go waste – they somehow impact the readers. You can turn to online platforms where you can initiate positive discussions for good.
Join Civil Societies Working for Good
Well, here we are not talking about societies of rich people that are meant to organize just kitty parties and do a little charity here and there. Take membership of civil organizations that are actually working for the betterment of the communities, like promotion of peace, the rule of law, stability, human rights, reconstruction, civil freedom, etc. And don’t keep these memberships as an accolade, but do actively participate in them.
