If you have reached the age of 40, count the number of people who have been bad to you in life.
And tell me when you reach five.
Now, count the number of people who have been good to you .
And tell me when you think you can stop the count.
(In the second category, do not forget to include yourself and multiply it by the number of people you have been good to: that will give you an idea of how much goodness there really is in this world.)

How easy it is to get upset. And how much easier to realise one's stupidity in this and laugh at it."The job of a good person does not end with his being good. He has a responsibility also to bring out the good in others. The only way he can do it is by constantly removing the grounds for others to suppress goodness in them. The measure of a good person truly is the extent to which he is able to motivate others to be good to others."An invisible fragrance hangs around good people and announces their arrival before they appear .
You and I together know so many good people in life that we have no right whatsoever to ever be cynical about the presence of goodness in this world. This is a most beautiful world , full of such beautiful and wonderful people in it. So many, that sometimes I truly wonder what did I do to deserve so many good people in my life. But it is such a blessing to have them around. ....And one benefit of having so many of them around is that even I have no excuse for being bad. Therefore, even when i want to do something not really good, i am stopped by the thought of these virtuous, lovely saints in my life.
