"Every action calls forth a reaction, so that we must respect the potential effects of all of our deeds." Dr. Joan Borysenko
Kindness begets kindness, and we feel better after doing an act of kindness. Conversely, harsh and unkind words will bring us disharmony and some kind of negative repercussion. The repercussion may not be immediate, so that we may be fooled into thinking we had no consequence for our disrespectful treatment; but, of this I think we can be sure: there is a consequence in kind for all of our actions. So, if we feel better after being kind, and if being kind begets better results from others and the Universe, why would we not choose to always be kind?
For today, let us endeavor to act only out of kindness in thoughts, words and deeds --- toward ourselves and all other people.
