To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is it just me, or is there something very kind, compassionate and empathetic about this philosophy. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
