"Is there any rule that one should
follow
all of one's life? Yes!
The rule of the gentle goodness.
- Analectas 15:23 (Confucianism)
In
cultures and creeds throughout the world there are versions of the Golden Rule, such as this one. The rest of the quote is: "That which we do not wish to be done to us, we do not do to others."
Today, let's practice The Golden Rule in the spirit of gentle goodness. Let's reach within to feel human
needs and extend ourselves for one another.
Life is especially beautiful when we care. I wish you a day of gentle goodness.
With love and compassion,
Charlene
THE FOURTH GIFT IS COMPASSION
May you be gentle with yourself and others.
May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself
when you make mistakes.
from The Twelve Gifts of Birth
