The Way of The World

I looked around and  I saw many strangers. Only a few had an appearance that met my approval.  In my heart and in my mind I laughed and ridiculed them.  I didn’t say it out loud, of course.  Then people started telling me I was negative, and I had a big head.  So I tried real hard to do the “self talk” to become more positive in my outlook on people.  Slowly it dawned on me that I think the world of myself and I bet each and every other person thinks the world of himself, too.  I tried to remember that when I thought bad things about people I didn’t even know. Deep down inside they do not think of themselves as bad and ugly and worthless and all the negative stuff. It’s common sense.  Each person loves himself and believes in himself and does his best.  I even noticed that people I knew thought good of me unless I said negative things about myself.  So I stopped saying negative things about myself to my friends and family.  Things aren’t as rocky anymore.  I got pretty good at this “positive” stuff.  I even read about a religion (Hindu) which  thinks each person is sacred.  So now I know for certain I am on the right path.
