Interesting thoughts......Words about kindness by Michael Josephson

"If you were arrested for kindness, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Some people cheer up a room by entering it, others by leaving it. What do you bring to your interactions with workmates, friends, and family? Is it encouragement, optimism, or kind words? Or is it pessimism, criticism, or cynicism?

People often forget what we say and usually what we do, but as Maya Angelou said, “They always remember how we made them feel.”


“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.”
– Theodore Isaac Rubin, M.D.

“Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.”
– Robert Brault

interesting thought....optional suffering

just read this... according to yoga sutras, suffering is caused by
change, unfulfilled longing, habits, and fluctuations in energy. not
even the most enlightened is immune. we can "prevent" the suffering
yet to come. the teacher says we can have pain yet not suffer. if we
accept the inevitability of life's twists & turns & find the
opportunity for growth in the struggles we face, we can prevent the
unnecessary self-inflicted suffering that comes from feelings as
guilt, blame & regret.

have a happy day ahead- in spite of the pain
