Quote of The Day 4-4-13




"Forget injuries, never forget kindness."

-Confucius

Grudges.  They happen.  But they are simply no good.  Harboring grudges puts a weight in one's heart that affects one's propensity to give.  And we must give in this world if we expect to receive any sort of positivity.  So perhaps it will be helpful to ignore the injuries, whether physical or emotional, sustained from offenses and to focus more on the kindness one receives as well as the kindness one can provide.

This is indeed the second time Confucius has made a Quote of The Day appearance, a first for this insignificant babble of a blog. Among the salient attributes that were not covered in the previous feature on Confucius are his emphasis on educating oneself in order to apply ethical behavior, corresponding authoritative language strictly with truth, and supplying faulty leadership with proper guidance toward a more virtuous authority.
