365+Acts™
A Societal Guide to a Better World
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace. ~Dag Hammarskjold
Our world has been inundated with reports of hate, violent crimes, prejudice, abuses and other unfriendly acts committed against one another. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of ever-more instant modern communication tools, crimes and violence have been their biggest beneficiaries -receiving a non-stop all media publicity. Horrendous crimes are now receiving book offers and movie deals even during their court proceedings, making notorious Criminals legend, unscrupulous investors richer and prosecutors and defense Attorneys television actors, while at the same time exposing our families to all sorts of criminal elements from within.
Without minimizing the impact of societal violence, there is however far more good deeds being done everyday without much attention paid to them. Sadly, promoting the stories of good-doers has not been the interest of our media tycoons. To counter this unacceptable phenomenon, we decided to inspire a book of positive acts as a daily reference against the media’s nonstop promotion of violence and sex to our children. We believe this would help protect our youth from imitating criminals at the same time promoting peaceful coexistence in our communities. After all, we are all a family with a common ancestor, Adam.
This book again is intended to inspire us all to increase our noble acts, encourage others in doing the same, while make it a daily protection from the media’s over exposed unfriendly violent world. The book is open to the public for story submission. People can write their own humanitarian acts or that of other good-doers they know. There would be at least three hundred sixty five stories to provide the readers with at least one positive daily inspiration for the whole year. All submitted stories to this book become public property without any condition or price attached.
Is it commendable to publicize ones own good deeds in this book?
Yes. Deeds are rewarded according to intentions behind them. Our intention in this book is to inspire people to increase noble deeds on behalf of their fellow human beings, especially doing so in today’s relentless media promotion of all that is wrong with us. 365+ Acts is therefore an inspirational book of noble deeds, heroism and humanitarian acts for a daily reading by people of all ages. If we don’t tell our humanistic side, the media will continue to promote our evil ones. Whoever recommends and helps a good cause becomes a partner therein: And whoever recommends and helps an evil cause, shares in its burden…holy quran 4:85
