To Measure One's Selfless Love

Kindness is a deed no one forgets that easily... it's given to measure one's selfless love against another without compassion, regard and mercy; and however small it may seem, it's a big gift! Receive that gift with a sincere smile and merry feeling by thanking that one when you were drenched in misery and reflected on the ugliness of greed against generosity: who was ready and willing to give something for nothing? Deprivation causes anger, need and unhappiness, not having full plates on tables and smell their flavors... in blessed homes there's always warmth and serenity; don't measure their abundance with grim looks of envy!
