Today, I chanced upon an article, "The Power of Sorry" published in a local magazine. It talks about an ancient Hawaiian healing method Ho'oponopono ('Hoo' means 'cause' and 'ponopono' means 'perfection'). In other words, it is all about learning the cause of gaining perfection.
In this method, you are supposed to take complete responsibility of experiencing misery around you in the world and sincerely and repeatedly say to yourself, "I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you." What happens in the subtlest level within you is that all stored-up negativity is neutralised by these powerful positive phrases. Also, repeating these phrases shield you from getting further negativity from outside.
The root cause of misery is not outside but deep within us. We have lost the sensitivity to see divinity in and around us. We have stopped loving ourselves. This Hawaiin healing method is all about loving oneself. When you love yourself, love would overflow from you in all directions. And anyone coming in contact with you would also experience the joy of love.
I am going to explore and experiment more along these lines. If you have any thoughts, please share. I am eager to hear your views.

I would be glad to see if our politicians follow this simple Hawaiian theory. I think, oxford published a special edition of dictionary for our politicians where words like Sorry and Forgive doesn't exists.
Thanks Aditya for this info on the special Oxford dictionary for politicians. Where can one get it?
