It is regarded as the way to create both personal and public hygiene, learn that physical and mental immunity is very important, and find that the economic, social, and environmental management systems play a huge part in the adjustment of people in society. In this situation, people in society need both physical and mental immunity, especially the mental being a key driver for life to be able to carry on at its best. So that to have such immunity it does need universal love to encourage and spread good wishes to one another. In the current situation of Thai society, it is really necessary to spread the Loving-Kindness towards one another without border to increase level of love in mind. Finally, every member of whole society could feel peace and happiness. If we all spread love together to the world today, it can be confirmed here that the whole society will not surely be in the difficult situation; there would be only peace and happiness worldwide.
