REJOICING GENERATES GOOD WILL
The next time you go out in the world, you might try this practice: directing your attention to peoplein their cars, on the sidewalk, talking on their cell phonesjust wish for them all to be happy and well. Without knowing anything about them, they can become very real, by regarding each of them personally and rejoicing in the comforts and pleasures that come their way. Each of us has this soft spot: a capacity for love and tenderness. But if we dont encourage it, we can get pretty stubborn about remaining sour. |
