If you see hatred or bigotry, do not tolerate it. Be intolerant. Be indignant. Take a stand for what is right.
If your child is rude to another or misspells a word, correct them.
If your elected representative fails to look out for the best interest of your community or the world, call them on it. Write, call, text … make your displeasure known. Support a better candidate.
If your child cannot read, do not wait for their next report card. Take your child’s narrow behind (or wide behind if that be the case) to the library. Read to them, with them, for them. Make flash cards. Turn off the television and take away the electronics. Require reading.
If you are in the store and the clerk decides to pay more attention to another worker, remind that clerk that their employer and its suppliers and their customer are depending on that person doing their job to the best of their ability at all times.
If you see someone throw litter on the street, admonish them. If you can’t admonish them and stay safe, at least pick it up. Do not allow the trash to remain.
If someone you love is abusing drugs or alcohol, tell them how their behavior is affecting you. Be firm. Do not tolerate their bad behavior in your presence.
If you are lonely, be a friend. Do not patiently wait for a friend to find you. Go outside of yourself and make it happen.
Be intolerant and impatient today. Make something good happen.
