Push-Me / Pull-You

Often it seems that the more one tries to push or force another to go forward in a certain direction, the more the other who is being pushed ultimately desires to proceed in the entirely opposite direction.

Eyes Readin’!

It seems that often one can tell a lot about the character of another by looking into their eyes – i.e.: it seems one can ascertain whether others are decent, forthright, or of a lesser stock than these enviable qualities by looking into the others' eyes.  As it has long been said, if the eyes are in actuality the window to the soul, I suggest learning to read the eyes of others and staying well-clear of any bad-type folks as best one is able.

Better to Receive than to Give.

Contrary to the old saying regarding the giving of gifts, when it comes to the topic of advice – barring any expertise, it seems it is nearly always a better plan to receive advice than to give it to others.

Practicing Unsaintly Compassion

I ain’t claiming to be no saint or nothing, but…

Compassion seems to be quickly becoming a practice of a by-gone era, if not one of antiquity.  The showing of compassion to others for any outward human frailties and even mistakes of the other – regardless of magnitude, will rarely cause any further injury to anyone.  Conversely, any kindness or compassion displayed to others for whatever the reason will surely enrich those that bring this realm forward through any such practice of displaying it.  There would seem to be no possibility of serious mistakes when practicing in this regard of showing any amount of compassion to others.
