Yesterday there was a thread headed 'what is there too much of?' and I thought we might want to focus now on what we'd like more of!
For me, it includes more readiness to understand people unlike ourselves ( which does not mean we have to agree with them), more compassion for people in desperate circumstances like Ukrainian refugees, more help for people who have to choose between eating and heating - and lots of other things. I wonder what others would like more of?

More equity between the haves and the have-nots. Obvious one is more peace and understanding in the world.

More appreciation of simple pleasures and be more ready to share them and Peace for all.

Peace - and more grandchildren reading books instead of their phones!

Not really

Perhaps someone could work on calorieless chocolate Lucca, then I would agree as long as the taste wasn’t altered.

A sense of fair play and some advance thinking from our government with masses of social housing as an absolute priority. I'm allowed to fantasize aren't I?!!

Empathy and kindness

More tolerance amongst people no matter what their colour, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation, political affiliation or opinions may be. More decent and purpose built education for children with special needs. The UK is woefully poor in delivering this. Every child deserves the chance to fulfill their potential.

Unity, there are so many divisions between people and nations.

Kindness - one good deed a day ?

More butterflies and more species of birds.
More tolerance of those who struggle with life .

Yes to more peace! As well as so many of the other things posted in this thread.

Healthier and safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists, a dramatic change of direction to reach net zero asap, and of course, world peace!
