Kindness

This morning on the bus, an older man dropped some change on the floor. The two people standing beside him picked it up and gave it to him. That was really nice! But there must have been a hole in his pocket because all of a sudden ALL of his change fell all over the place. Almost everyone helped him, smiled and joked, and they helped him stay upright while the bus lurched forwards and backwards in it's motion.

"There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness" 
- Dalai Lama -

If you believe in something, live it. Be that thought and behave along the lines of that thought. Be an example to everyone around you. Words impact, and may inspire and provoke thought, but actions reverberate, multiply, and carry over time.
