…how you THINK life is treating you

It’ll always be easier and more impactful to be kind. If we can’t be kind, be neutral. If that’s not even possible, just be quiet.

I’m an old coot and I have found that when I treat people poorly, I feel bad about it, so for the last 30 or so years I’ve made a point of being nice to just about everyone I encounter. Makes me feel better.
Except for the stupid fool who, with a crowd of people behind her, abruptly stopped at the entrance to the revolving door to look at her phone. I barked “This is NOT the place to look at your phone!” Nope, don’t feel bad about that at all.

You don’t have to be happy to treat people well at all. How we treat people and behave is a choice that’s independent of our personal mood and emotions.

Got the message. Not true. Putting down rivals is a fact of life. Even if a person is happy, making others underscore, is a viable strategy.

**Disagree**: Your history does not give you an excuse or license to treat others bad.
Some of the kindest people are those to whom life has been unrelenting misery.
Your actions and attitude are a decision. You are not life’s puppet.

Not true.
Life has been very unkind to me, and I always treat others with kindness and respect. I see no point in passing on pain and misery to random strangers. It achieves nothing. Besides, that is not who I am.
I also know uncountable numbers of people who have everything in life, everything I have wished and dreamed and longed for, and fought without success to get all my life, and they are mean and nasty. I know people who lead a life of pure dreams, and they are most unkind and angry all the time.
