~ Kahlil Gibran
At one of my
children's schools, they have a lovely tradition of having the children who are
graduating from the elementary school deliver a "sermon." For the most part, it is their reflections on
finishing 5th Grade and moving on to middle school.
Recently, I
heard one little girl give an especially powerful reflection in which she
talked about the strength of kindness.
When you are kind, she said, you build up the other person as well as
yourself. And when you are mean, you not
only weaken the other person, but you also weaken yourself.
Out of the
mouth of babes.
