| SING A SUMMER PRAYER FOR PEACE |
| The two examples on the previous page cite behavior on the road. But it's important to treat one another with kindness and fairness at ALL times. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Read my Rules for Living, especially the second page which deals specifically with behavior towards others. Also take a gander at my thoughts on relationships. Don't make thoughtless comments. Think before you speak. One of the hallmarks of maturity is the ability to THINK it without actually SAYING it. Once those hurtful words leave your mouth, there's no retrieving them. You may think that by blurting out your thoughts, you're showing the world how smart you are, but more often than not a person's intelligence is revealed more by what he DOESN'T say than by what he DOES say! One more thing. I've saved the most important for last. Unless it is in self-defense or to save someone else from getting hurt, DO NOT EVER hurt somebody physically. You have absolutely NO RIGHT to do that. None! We all live under one God, but God created us with free will so that we would take care of one another. It isn't all up to Him. It all begins with you. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Don't be mean to people. If you're having a bad day, don't take it out on others. How can we hope for world peace if we can't even get along with others in our own back yard? We're all self-centered to a degree. It's natural to be that way. We came out of the womb that way, as a survival mechanism so that our basic needs would be met. But self-centered doesn't mean SELFISH! Never forget that we share the world with 6,000,000,000 other souls. Treat each other with kidness and consideration, and if you can, help out someone less fortunate. There but for the grace of God go you. Click here to read "A Cooperative Effort with God." |
