Daily writing prompt
What would you change about modern society?

It would be easy to target any period of history and imagine what you would change. Society has never been perfect and my version of perfection would probably not match up with others anyway. It also depends on which culture you are from, each country has its unique values.

I am a Welshman who now lives in Czechia. So what would I change about Czech society? I would like to see it behave as a closer society, a community. I find Czechs, although not exactly selfish, are sometimes too insular and unwilling to step outside of their own bubble. It is rare to see someone caring for the local environment, but their garden looks beautiful. I guess that is the perfect analogy.

Come on people, say hello to strangers. The looks you get if you do this are ones of confusion, you can see them thinking, “Do I know you?” Talk to each other, pick up that piece of rubbish, and give that person a helping hand. Oh, and take care when you are riding your bike on the footpath, it isn’t a bike lane let alone a racetrack!
