They are: (1) Helping others and (2) Healing the earth.

Helping others:

All the men and women are equal. The difference is only in manifestation. Irrespective of their caste, religion, region, class, color, race and country all human beings are equal. One should help others and serve them as if they are serving themselves or their own family. All major religions and philosophies teach this.

You receive a lot of benefits spiritual, mental and even material when you treat others equal to you and help them. Real happiness lies in helping others. All great philosophers and great men said that all are equal and help those who are in need. There is a deep meaning in that. One way of looking at is, helping others is you helping yourself. Other way of looking at it is when people help each other, unity among those people increases. In history we can observe that united societies progressed more and prosperity showered on them. When society grows an individual also benefits. So, also benefits by helping others.

Healing the earth:

We are enjoying benefits the earth provides us. While we utilize the resources available from earth, at the same time we are damaging the earth. So, it's our responsibility to balance development, scientific advancement and protection of earth. All three things are important, but we need to balance and re-think strategy at regular times and then move ahead. We need to heal earth by practicing more environmental friendly practices like energy efficient cars, less pollution, minimizing the utilization of resources, etc. We should plant more trees and protect natural eco systems. We when perform these activities, we give a better place to live for our future generations.
