"let no one ever come to you without leaving feeling better & happier..."
this is something i have tried to live by for as long as i possibly could and thus the sentence in the quote above that resonated with me; especially currently when i am facing a lot of hostility from some people.
and i can say - this is easier said than done. nonetheless, it is always important to try, and even more importantly, to make it a habit. as for me, i am still trying and am not successful all the time. and i say so because for people who are hostile to me, i cannot do it. the most i can be is neutral. how to make them feel happy or better if in the first place, i myself get trashed by them and in the course of it, feel shitty. so in such situations, if i cannot make them happy or better, the least i can do is to just ignore and walk away. it would at least minimise the possibility of getting myself flustered.
heh, you ain't alone, count me in... humans, very hard for them to believe there's kindness in this world, if we do good, they always think we have some hidden agenda....
