That Happiness Is Mine

 Treat people with love and compassion. Every single person in this world has suffered in a way that you couldn't handle. Everyone is fighting a battle that is unimaginable to you. When you consider what you have gone through, the terrible tragedies you have suffered, remember: everyone suffers. Have compassion, even when it is hard.

 When you use your own love to look at people, you begin to see their own goodness and merit. See the goodness and love in everyone, because often they don't see it themselves. Love is a fire, it catches from one person to the next. When you find love in another person, they will find it also. It will spread and cover a multitude of hate. 

 In wake of the bombings in Boston yesterday and the 6th Anniversary of the Virginia Tech Shooting, spend time today promoting love. Rather than mourn the state of the world, take and active step toward making that world better. Show a world of hate that you are a lover.
