rule two

Rule two- do no harm.

There are so many ways that we hurt people.  We scowl at them or give them a dirty look.  We deride them, demean them and shame them.  Our mouths are so destructive.

We withhold our heart of love and do not help the needy - harm.  We do not support a worthy cause - harm.  You know we can't take it with us.  Here is a story- A billionaire died and went to heaven.  How much of his money did he leave behind?  Answer= All of it!

Any selfish action usually is hurting someone.  But most of what I see in terms of people hurting people is a lack of kindness.  Not respecting people.  Not listening to people.  Passing on gossip.  Saying mean things.

We can't always change how we feel inside, but we can close our mouths.  It is a start.  Let's admit that for the time being we are going to feel the same, but lets also agree to not act on how we feel.  In time, I believe our hearts can change.  Let us not give voice to the feelings.  Do no harm.  Do no harm.  Do no harm.  It's a start at making things better.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
