Just A Thought ~ OUR RESPONSIBILITY

"If the other person injures you, you may forget it; but if you injure him, you will always remember."

~ Kahlil Gibran ~

We cannot make other people understand us, but it is within our capacity to understand them, so the responsibility is more with us than with others. If people do not always respect our rights, we must still respect theirs; life should not be a game of tit-for-tat.

On the Way, it is not that we can no longer do any wrong ~ we are not so far along ~ but that, when we do so, the conscience kicks in and bothers us, and we find it hard to live with ourselves without trying in some way to make amends. We can no longer live in a carefree, careless way.
