When others are good, we can also be good.
When others are no good, it is easy for us to become bad.
An aristocratic rich widow, well known in high society for her benevolence, had as housemaid who was faith and diligent. One day, out of curiosity, the maid decided to test her mistress to find out if she was honestly good by nature or if it was merely a pretence put for the sake of appearance in her fortunate high society surroundings.
The the following few mornings, the maid got up quite late, and the mistress chided her. Repeatedly, the mistress abused the maid and struck her with a sick thus hurting her.
News of this incident spread around the neighbourhood and the rich widow lost not only her reputation but also a faithful servant.
Similarly, in this modern society, people are kind and modest when their surrounding conditions are good and satisfactory. When condition change and become unfavourable, they become irritable and angry.
We are all and surrounded by great actors and actresses, and got lost in the midst "perforamances".
Every morning, take some time and look into the mirror. Look at the reflection, look into your own eyes... are You still there?
