Twelve Things to Remember About People

1. Each one is different.

2. All people are the same.

3. Some people are smart. Others are not.

4. Differences scare people. Likeness makes them feel comfortable and safe.

5. People are born, live, get hurt, heal, love, get angry, grow, get sick, get well, find joy, lose joy, laugh, scream, cry, learn from past mistakes, don’t learn from past mistakes and eventually die. No exclusions.

6. Twenty-one is NOT adult.

7. Feelings get hurt and if kindness is given, feelings are healed.

8. Giving to another always makes both feel good. Taking always creates injury.

9. Forget to give? Then remember to do without.

10. Temptations exist in every human breath. Good. It teaches.

11. Seeing inadequacies in others happens in every human life. Good. It teaches tolerance.

12. If you give a child a candy bar, he will laugh or giggle, eat it, climb the walls from an over active pancreas and drop like a rock an hour later. If you give a child love, the child will be happy. This goes for adults too.

Five Things to Forgive in People:

1. Forgive them for being human.

2. Forgive them for being stupid.

3. Forgive them for being smart.

4. Forgive them for forgetting your birthday.

5. Just forgive them.

All that being said, it is most important to practice the same thing with yourself. That’s right, you are one of 6,862,161,949 people on the planet. You are born, make mistakes, learn to love and get angry with your little sister. You make a mistake at least once a day. You breathe the same air as the one sitting next to you and this act is one of sharing. Sharing is a thing we so easily forget. So is forgiving.
