Something inspirational:

“How would your life be different if… you stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day... you look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.

  1. Our lives would only be different if we all behaved like this and what an amazing thing that would be.

    1. Yes, our lives would and we must. If humanity is to survive we must all work together.

      It is what we must do.

  2. A little old-fashioned courtesy goes a long way, it offers something magical. I know it taught me how to regard humanity.

    So instead of being judgmental, we should know that some kind of kinship brought us all here anyway.

    1. Thanks Tim. The old-fashioned courtesy is long gone. I couldn't agree more. It was something magical, something to be embraced.

      It was about respect and as you rightly say it taught us about humanity, about how to behave. It introduced us to the world through our moral compass. Kinship was definitely part of our world back then.
