Thoughts Along the Way: Secrets of a Happy Life

A fundamental belief of so many of the world s philosophers comes down to this: Each of us wishes to be treated kindly, with empathy, fairly and honestly. Doesn t it follow that we should treat others kindly, with empathy, fairly and honestly? Do not do to others that which would anger you if others did it to you. (Socrates: Greece; 5th century B.C.) The clearest guidance you can give your children, grandchildren or anybody else is not by what you say but by the things you do and how you do them. Your examples speak louder than your words. When someone you love is sick or injured, especially if it s a child, how often do you wish you could hurt for them, could bear their pain? And what a warm feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment we get when the things we do are able help others. Never mind what others say or do, we re talking about you. Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal. (Dalai Lama). I hope, in the stories that follow, you find ways this applies to you and me.
