Thought of the Day - August 6, 2012

From someone who spoke from his heart - King Solomon

“Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.”

It is never your intention to harm yourself when dispensing cruelty upon the world.  It is always your first thought that the recipient of your actions is deserving of such viciousness for one reason or another.  Most often, you feel quite justified in your actions, no matter how mean, nasty or hateful they may be, especially when those actions are in defense of your own hurt and pain.  But what you should keep in mind is that justification doesn't make an action warranted or necessary.  In your attempt to damage another, you almost always damage yourself in the process.  And self inflicted wounds hurt the most and take the longest to heal.

Have a smart day!
