Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Kindness it is that brings forth kindness always. —Sophocles
Why are people sharp with me? Why does everyone look gloomy today? What’s wrong with the world?
Why do we blame the world when we are out of sorts? Life, after all, is neutral. It is our moods and attitudes that affect our view of things and the responses we receive. If we are seeing life through the dark glasses of melancholy, then we can’t blame the world for seeming grim.
When we are at ease with ourselves and feel at home in our lives, other people will seem friendly and serene. A smile will prompt a smile; a greeting will bring a friendly response. And when I am considerate with my neighbor, it sets good deeds in motion. Kindness, like laughter, is contagious.
I really do believe that kindness and love make the world a brighter, better place.
