No person is more cheated than the selfish person

Think about this; When we are being selfish grabbing all of the goods or attention thinking that this is going to lead to happiness, we fail to realize that not only do we deny other people those things but we also deny them the benefit of the great feeling that comes along with sharing.

I have found that generosity and welcoming responses nourish the spirit within us. Not always easy to remember as I zoom down the parkway to try to get in front of the car in front of me. What’s the point? Am I going to trade saving myself two minutes on my commute home for an infuriated driver now tail gating me and the anxiety that lasts the rest of the way home?

What I need to remember is that all of life is fragile. Don’t take anything for granted. We need each other to have a good life and as Barbara Streisand comes into my head singing People, people who need people are the luckiest people in the world. I now know why. I see a lot of those bumper stickers that want world peace but ask yourself this; Am I being generous with those that I share this planet with today?
