Safeguard and Improve Your Environment - The Way to Happiness

Safeguard and Improve Your Environment - The Way to Happiness

We live in a world where not everyone cares to look beyond their daily woes at the scenery around them. Nor do many care about the world and its natural resources and its beautiful wonders. Thank god there are those few who do think about the environment and who do spend immeasurable energies to better it.

All of Man has a responsibility to safeguard and improve the environment in which they live. It is up to us to do our part in addition to encouraging others to do theirs too.

The Way to Happiness is a book by L. Ron Hubbard which delivers a set of basic morals for our modern world. You can greatly enhance others you associate with by having them apply these precepts. Precept # 12 is “Safeguard and Improve Your Environment.”

L. Ron Hubbard wrote in a section called “Help take care of the planet”:

“The idea that one has a share in the planet and that one can and should help care for it may seem very large and to some, quite beyond reality. But today what happens on the other side of the world, even so far away, can affect what happens in your own home. …

“Cut down too many forests, foul too many rivers and seas, mess up the atmosphere and we have had it. The surface temperature can go roasting hot, the rain can turn to sulfuric acid. All living things could die.

“One can ask, ‘Even if that were true, what could I do about it?’ Well, even if one were simply to frown when people do things to mess up the planet, one would be doing something about it. Even if one only had the opinion that it was just not a good thing to wreck the planet and mentioned that opinion, one would be doing something.

“Care of the planet begins in one’s own front yard. it extends through the area one travels to get to school or work. it covers such places as where one picnics or goes on vacation. The litter which messes up the terrain and water supply, the dead brush which invites fire, these are things one need not contribute to and which, in otherwise idle moments, one can do something about. Planting a tree may seem little enough but it is something. …

“There are many things people can do to help take care of the planet. They begin with the idea that one should. They progress by suggesting to others that they should.

“Man has reached the potential capacity to destroy the planet. He must be pushed on up to the capability and actions of saving it. It is, after all, what we’re standing on.

“If others do not help safeguard and improve the environment, the way to happiness could have no roadbed to travel on at all.”

This is quite true!

The Way to Happiness - Flourish and Prosper

The Way to Happiness - Flourish and Prosper

The Way to Happiness is a book by L. Ron Hubbard which delivers a set of basic morals for our modern world.  You can greatly enhance others you associate with by having them apply these precepts.

Precept # 21 - “Flourish and Prosper”

Ever feel like someone is against you?  Have you ever wrongly felt like you were a victim of someone’s harassment?

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “Sometimes others seek to crush one down, to make nothing out of one’s hopes and dreams, one’s future and one, himself.”  Ever experience that?  Unfortunately there are people who want others to succumb.

Mr. Hubbard further stated: “The real handling of such a situation and such people, the real way to defeat them is to flourish and prosper.”

Definitely an important datum in today’s society.

The Way to Happiness is a book by L. Ron Hubbard which delivers a set of basic morals for our modern world.  You can greatly enhance others you associate with by having them apply these precepts.

Precept # 15 - “Fulfill Your Obligations”

Fulfilling your obligations is obviously necessary in any society.  Personally, one must be honest and keep his integrity in.  He must deliver as promised.  If you pay for something, you should have the money to back it up.  If you say you are going to clean the car, then you need to clean the car.  If you know you have to file documents by a certain deadline, well then you have to do that.  If you know your kids are hunger and they expect you to get them some food, well, this is your duty.

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “The way to happiness is very hard to travel when one is burdened with the weight of obligations which one is owed or which he has not discharged.”

Precept # 18 - “Respect the Religious Beliefs of Others”

Very spiritually enlightening!  An interesting portrayal of spiritual values.  All religions share this quality.

Freedom of religion is a basic human right.  Failure to respect these rights of others can cause contention.

Precept # 16 - “Be Industrious”

This is a great one.  It shows you that power of choice is cause and that things don’t just happen, they are made to happen.

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “Work is not always pleasant. But few are unhappier than those who lead a purposeless, idle and bored existence … Morale is boosted to high highs by accomplishment. In fact it can be demonstrated that production is the basis of morale. … The way to happiness is a high road when it includes industriousness that leads to tangible production.”

Precept # 8 - “Do Not Murder”

A hard-hitting message.

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “Murder justly bears the highest priority in social prevention and retaliation. … The way to happiness does not include murdering your friends, your family, or yourself being murdered.”

We all have a responsibility to protect our fellows, even if we don’t know them.  They are human and they have a right to live.

Precept # 3 - “Don’t Be Promiscuous”

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! Ooouuuuch!

If sex is a means of procreation, i.e., creating a larger family and having kids, why then would one abuse such activity which often ends up in nasty fights?

One should be faithful to your sexual partner. 

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “Sex is a big step on the way to happiness and joy.  There is nothing wrong with it if it is followed with faithfulness and decency.”

This is a hard-hitting PSA (Public Service Announcement) as it REALLY shows how drinking too much can have a harmful effect to one’s life and family.

The Way to Happiness by L. Ron Hubbard, precept #2 explains: “Do Not Take Harmful Drugs” and “Do Not Take Alcohol to Excess.”

John Travolta and Kelly Preston host fundraiser for Narconon in Hawaii

John Travolta and Kelly Preston host fundraiser for Narconon in Hawai’i

HONOLULU, HAWAI’I: Kelly Preston and her husband, John Travolta, were hosting a lavish dinner celebration today, Thursday to support a new Narconon rehab center in Hawai’i.

“This is my baby,” Preston told The Associated Press of her efforts to provide drug education, prevention and rehabilitation services.

A Hawaii native, Kelly Preston said she came home to help address the islands’ growing problem with crystal meth. She started three years ago, working with school and government officials to launch Narconon in Hawai’i.

The dinner will raise money to support that program as well as a new residential drug-rehabilitation facility. The 60-bed Narconon Hawai’i center is expected to open in “two to three months,” Preston said.

She was quoted saying: “This is my first one” and ”I would love to continue doing it on the islands — on each of maybe four or five of the main islands — and I’d love another one also here, a juvenile facility.”

She also told the local TV station (KgMB9): “I know that this program works.  I know that it gets a 75% success rate.  It’s amazing.”

Narconon is a worldwide drug rehabilitation and education network with facilities in 40 countries. It is based on the principles of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology.  It is also one of the most effective drug rehab programs.  http://www.narconon.org  Narconon has more than 100 drug prevention and treatment centers around the world.

“Our goal collectively as an organization is to help with collaboration of everybody else, have a drug free Hawaii,” said Narconon Hawaii president Myron Thompson.

As you know, Kelly Preston and Travolta, who have been married 15 years, are both Scientologists and as humanitarians both have been supporting efforts to get kids off drugs for a long time.   Read my prior article on this very point: Kelly Speaks Out Against Drugs.

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/05/24/arts/NA-A-E-CEL-US-Kelly-Preston.php

Here is a story about a man named Chad Bloom whose life was destroyed by drugs until he found the Narconon program:

Kapolei resident Chad Bloom, 21, told KGMB9 (local Hawai’i tv) his life was a mess before Narconon.

“That’s when I quit work.  And that’s all I was doing.  Going out to find more drugs.  Going out to find where they were.  And using them,” Bloom said.

Desperate for help Bloom entered the Narconon rehab program in Oklahoma last December.  He graduated from the program in mid-April and today says he is drug free.

“I’m very confident that I’m done with it.  I have no doubts what so every that I won’t go back to it,” Bloom said.

“It’s wonderful.  I mean, he’s back and he’s that person I always knew he could be,” added Lari Bloom, Chad’s mother.

Narconon Hawai’i has been delivering basic drug education in Hawai’i schools since January 2005. To date, Narconon drug educators have given presentations to more than 23,000 students in 65 schools. Analysis of initial responses from those students have shown positive results–informal surveys show that 89% stated they would never start taking drugs, or were now against drugs as a result of the Narconon presentations.

A year ago, Preston and Narconon Hawai’i teamed up with other island drug prevention groups to distribute free “parent kits”, designed to help parents learn how to more effectively talk to their children about the dangers of drug abuse. The kit, introduced by Lt. Governor James “Duke” Aiona and University of Hawai’i football coach June Jones, includes essential information and simple lesson plans most anyone can follow. As a result of the distribution campaign, which included television public service announcements featuring Preston airing repeatedly on all four local networks, thousands of families requested and received the free kit.

Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann proclaimed the week of May 20 - May 27, 2006 “Teaching our Kids the Truth About Drugs Week” to commemorate the launch of the kit distribution on the islands.

The Foundation for a Drug Free World also heavily promotes drug-education materials with their newly designed website at http://www.drugfreeworld.org.  They also have booklets on key drugs which provide lots of useful information concerning these drugs and the harm they create and what to do about it.
