View Comments“I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him”
- Booker T. Washington
This is one of my favourite quotes as it shows how we are in control of our own thoughts, actions and feelings. This awareness allows you to realise that the way you treat others directly reflects on your own wellbeing.
If you spend all your time focusing your attention on negativity towards others, you will end up feeling negative yourself. This then has a degrading effect on you.
But on the other hand, if you focus your attention on being compassionate towards others, then you too will reap the rewards of compassion.
Treat others well, because really you are treating yourself.
