Day One Everything Changes

As children my Mother taught and enforced in us the Golden Rule… treat others as you would like to be treated (yes I know that’s not exactly it but try explaining “do unto” to a five year old). Later in my life this has evolved into more of a belief of Karma – what you send out into the world is what you receive back.
I have no ill will towards the people that have harmed me in the past, and I have no joy when tragedy happens to them. Nor am I surprised to hear when an aggressively outspoken individual turns out to be participating in the very behavior they seem to be so critical of.
I constantly remind my Wife that all of us are hypocrites (myself included) – it’s just human nature. I’m not saying this to by cynical but as a reminder that no one can be perfect.
