“If you want others to be happy, practice
compassion. If you want to be happy,
practice compassion.”
~ Dalai Lama
A teacher at
my children’s school shared a story recently about a high school student who
had greatly impressed her on a school trip to another city last year. The teacher recounted how the student, then a
high school junior, had bought a box of granola bars and distributed them to
homeless people she encountered. On one
occasion, she asked a homeless person if he was hungry and took him to a restaurant
where she bought him a meal. This
student, now a senior, celebrated her birthday recently by inviting a group of
her classmates to join her to feed and visit with the homeless.
