And there is a reluctance to be generous with a kind word towards these folks. I’m really working on that. I really can’t just parcel out my generosity towards those I really like and deny it to those I don’t like.

Maybe I need to give this person another chance-my dislike might very well have been formulated on a bad day for that person or me for that matter. Thinking about it also made be hope that someone who dislikes me might give me another chance. Thanks for the gentle prodding that we all sometimes need to be better people.
