I don’t think that is pompous at all, I think it is a nice little bit of wisdom.

I will try to remember whenever I am feeling mean and grouchy.

Just do it and don’t tell anyone and don’t judge

Best advice I’ve read in awhile, and I can think of at least one person I’d like to send it to right now! But I’ll try to just focus on being kind. Thank you, John. Them’s good words.

What a lovely sentiment. Truly, we should hold that close and think about it every day rather than offload our problems. Thanks for that inspiring post.

Be the change you want to see in the world – you have it so right John. Not pompous in the slightest.

I like what you did with your five minutes, John. It reminds me of this quote: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour. This is the whole Torah; all the rest is commentary. Go and learn it.
Hillel, Talmud, Shabbath 31a” See? You dispensed with all the frippery and went right to the heart of everything.

With 5 mins, of course, you can scratch cat ears…

Hey, don’t edit, wipe the computer off. I never mind a bit of pomposity.

I must’ve been half-asleep when I wrote this and now I feel I ought to go back and edit it rather heavily.

Don’t think I shall bother, though.

Random acts of kindness – something that makes everyone feel better.
