Love is more powerful than hate. It is true that hate creates wars and conflict, things that have destructive power. But love creates unity and happiness. Conflict will always be there, that is true. But love will be there as well, trying to balance out the conflict. When we see the news and hear about all the bad that is going on, know that we are not meaningless, we can make a difference. By giving to others instead of taking, you will not only help the community around you, but you will help yourself. Acts of kindness, though they may seem small, do change the world in a better way. In a study of 600 U.S. citizens, social psychologist Lizz Dunn and her partners found that spending money on others generated more happiness that spending money on oneself (McConnel). We can change the world with one small act at a time.
