What do you suppose would happen if each person were to treat those around him/her with fairness, honesty, kindness, consideration, compassion, self-control, tolerance, benevolence,respect, politeness, dignity, admiration, friendliness, love, and does it with integrity?
A far more pleasant life, that’s what would happen.
The truth is that each of us wields certain influence on those around us, either positively or negatively and the pebbles we drop in society’s pool around us creates wide ripples, so it’s worth thinking it through.
Our actions are our responsibility and most times the output from our relationships or other aspects of our life is derived from our conscious input.
One can visibly lift themselves up to a new or higher plane of human relations by their conscious positive behaviour towards others and they actually get to derive a happier state of life.
Naturally, in every given society, there will always be the badly behaved person, but that shouldn’t be anyone’s focus. Our focus should be on our own behaviour. On extending the courtesy that we expect from others.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.

I also think that when one has denied oneself of these precious things, it is hard for that person to freely give it to another.

Lovely food for thought. Don’t follow the herd – follow your own mind and conscious. Yes, we seriously need to think for ourselves and for other people more. Peace can only come as a collective. x Eppowering words

Wise words Jacqueline 🙂 I’ve always believed in treating others as I want to be treated. I agree that we need to focus on our own actions and not those of others. We need stop judging and/or labeling others as well. I once read that labels are for cans, not people. Wishing you a lovely evening 🙂
