Perhaps it was realizing all the things I'd learned from my parents, friends and now my wife which shaped my values and hopefully now my life.troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-50961402070648711832018-02-05T13:04:53.716-06:002018-02-05T13:04:53.716-06:00Love this story.

Too often people, many I know, never get that enlightenment and it only drags them down.

Even when young, I can remember seeing people putting down other people (man/wife, white/black, father/son, etc.) and thinking... 'why don't they realize that they aren't belittling the other person in reality... they're belittling themselves in everyone else's eyes'. I don't think of this as an epiphany, just something that I realized early on.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195629195750583833.post-90078806277623944002018-02-04T14:02:49.282-06:002018-02-04T14:02:49.282-06:00For me it was realizing I would spoil some one els...For me it was realizing I would spoil some one else's good time, put a pall on the day. I can't recall that it came to me all at once. It just seemed correct to be happy for others, too. When I was an adult, I had an incident of a person not being happy at a family gathering, storming and slamming about. It was such a visual to me of not being kind. Love and peace to you.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
