We men are imperfect beings,so conflicts among us are unavoidable.Inevitably,we
sometimes feel injured,insulted,or slighted.Perhaps we put our faith in another,and
were dispointed;perhaps we felt we deserved one's gratitude,and were denied;perhaps
we wished to join our effors to those of a group,and were rejected.
Such experiences are painful indeed,but is it not foolish to let them occupy our
thoughts and precious time?For what does it profit us to dwell on trivial
matters.The priceless days must be spent meaningfully,joyfully.How thoughtless to
waste the irreplaceable hours reviewing insignificant incidents,bearing a grudge or
pitying oneself! Far better to embrace with gratitude the gift of each day to make
the most of every moment by filling it with purpose or appreciation.
Consider this thought when next you feel tempted to nurse a grievance:that life is
too short to be little! |
