Be The Better Person

Smoothies & Sandwiches

Today, Loz and i caught up with the Librarian, our old buddy from church. We've decided that it's our quarter-annual thing, to catch up at the BWC for coffee - or, in this case, smoothies and sandwiches. Swapping the goss keeps us occupied for a couple of hours, a few times a year.

Today's chit-chat yielded a brand new concept. The concept of being a better person. Really, it's just a fun phrase to throw around. But under that, it's actually got some worth to it. The better person is the person who never forgets to buy birthday presents for their friends, even if they don't see them. The person who forgives their friends when they kiss their prince charming. The person who lets people in when the traffic is heavy. The person who risks their own relationships with people to let them know what people are saying about them behind their back so that they can try to stop it. The person who takes the high road.

Being the better person isn't only a trip along the high road. But it's also the best way to feel better about yourself. To not walk around full of resentment or anger or thoughs or revenge really makes life a lot more cheery. So, the Librarian and myself have decided. Our new life's motto? To be the better person!
