There is a need to change the ways in which the current world works. Many religions and political systems around the world are suffering. Humanity may benefit from a shared belief system to encourage ethical, loving values and TASKS is paramount to this. Individuals need to address their personal behavior in order to live together in harmony with people practicing different religions.

TASKS stand for Truthfulness, Accountability, Service, Kindness and Selflessness. Truthfulness is being truthful and honest in all that we do. Accountability is being responsible to someone for our actions. Service is using our inner spirits to ensure that we are acting in a way that will benefit others. Kindness is always acting in a friendly and courteous manner, one in which we would expect others to return. Finally Selflessness is acting in a way which puts others' needs and thoughts before ourselves.

When it comes to making any sort of changes in life, whether that be a change in behaviour, values, attitudes, social conduct or religious concepts, past experiences or 'lessons learnt' from previous actions they are hugely influential if not the sole purpose for making that change. To move the world in which we currently live towards TASKS for PEACE, nations at large need to modify their behaviour to begin acting with a purity of spirit. Past experiences, both personal and across societies, need to be drawn upon and encouraged to provide the driving motivation for change.

By acting in accordance with the principles of TASKS, there is a hope that individuals will be able to act in a manner that means they are more tolerant and willing to listen to those with differing views and opinions. This in turn will lead to religions being able to live together in a peaceful state, accepting each other's differences. This will take considerable time and hard work on every individual's part, but surely this is hard work worth undertaking for the benefit of us all.
