I know.....but compassion and self respect.....love of fellow humans.....and most important is self love because ya can't love others right if you don't love and respect yourself. I am not pontificating to you as I have done things in my life that now in my last years am not proud of.
But along the way I figured it all out and now try very hard to treat others with dignity and respect. How can you expect from others what you are not willing to give yourself? But it is quite easy in the dog eat dog mindframe of many in these times to become imbittered and to react to bad people in negative ways. BUT I refuse to lower my personal standards and I can only control myself and my own actions. And hopefully it sets an example for some. BUT it does make me a happier and more tranquil person personally. Maybe that is my reward. Randome acts of kindness are a wonderful for good karma......all goes back to BASICS in any ideology.....GOOD BREEDS GOOD! bab breeds bads. Most often that is.....but.....bad things do happen to "GOOD PEOPLE" but far less often.
