Goodness

With each day of the world’s creation, there is a repetitive phrase: “it was good”.   


Why?



Let me speculate that the world, the essence of life, of human beings , is goodness.  The problem is that this goodness too often can get covered over.



“Look at all men favorably!”, the sages have told us.  Even those who have performed horrific acts still have a soul inside of them . 



As a psychiatrist, I have  often witnessed the impact on someone when you focus on their innate goodness rather than their negative traits. 


(Besides, when we see negative in others, it may well be our own reflection.


So be careful!)



Make the effort - practice, practice! - at viewing others through a positive lens.


And like magic, this will wonderfully affect them - as well as yourself.
