it always seems like my problems are so bad and so much worse than those around me when i'm really seeing narrowly. when i open my eyes, though, i find that not only are there other people who have the same problems i do, there are people who have problems i can't even imagine. i try not to use that to beat myself up for feeling hurt by my problems, but to put things in some perspective. i'm not always so good at it but i try. Well behaved women rarely make history.
Thou canst not disturb a flower without the troubling of a star...from "Troubling a Star", by Madelaine L'Engle...we all affect one another by our words and actions...it is our choice whether to do so purposefully and positively, or carelessly and hurtfully...may we all bring to one another the peace that we seek...
"if you want others to be happy, practice compassion. if you want to be happy, practice compassion" the Dahli Laama
