as was said once or twice in song.
Start there, respect yourself, respect others.
Give love, and give it freely. You cannot recieve that which you do not give.
Accept. No one is going to be exactly what you want, they will have flaws, just as you do, accept their flaws as well as their good points.
Show compasion in deed and thought.
Give freely of your time and whatever else you have to give.
Be honest in all that you do. Temper any unpleasnt truths you see about others with compasion.
Say you are sorry immediately when you make an error. Crow is much better eaten while it is still warm.
Be passionate about life, be passionate about love.
Honor others, their principles and views, honor also your own with firm and gentle commitment.
And the hardest thing of all, be willing to take what is given in love.
It is easy to give when you love, but that also must be balanced by taking what is offered. |
