―Sophocles
We have a
neighbor whom one might describe as grumpy on a good day. But 'tis the season, so we are trying to be
friendly to her. This morning, my son
and I greeted her with our cheeriest "Good morning!" She must be feeling the spirit, too, because
she told my son that she liked his backpack.
As we walked
to the car afterward, my son said, "She's not that bad."
"Very
few people are," I said and then asked him, "What do you think
happens when you treat people with kindness?"
"They treat
you with kindness?" he responded.
Before I
could answer, he said, "This is the part where you say, 'exactly.'"
Exactly.
