We live for our society. We live for those around us. It is those around us that shape us. We are affected by the people we associate with. Likewise, we affect and infect others in many ways. Many ways. How do you have an effect someone? Ask yourself. I pray it is good.
Hard truth. I had to come to reality with myself this morning. I had a hearty no holds barred talk with my preparatory school mate. We are linked by social media.
In this life, we are each other’s keeper. We are supposed to watch out for each other. We do what we do to make the world a better place. No man is an island. If it were so there would be no need for the professions. It is great to help or be there for one another. (The VANDALS of Commonwealth Hall exhibit this easily).
But in order for this to succeed, put yourself in the shoes of the other person. Would you want to be treated the same way you are treating him/her? Ponder over it? Are you being fair to yourself? In your mind switch places. Put yourself on the receiving end. Do you like that feeling? I guess not
Think before you act. Do unto others……
