To Not Be a Monster

To not be a monster, you must know how to do good to the people you see, To not be a monster, you have to leave the people, who look down on you, In order not to be a monster, one must be interested in birds and elephants, In order not to be a monster, you have to believe that God really loves your friends.

Thanks for reminding me that kindness is paramount in 'not being a monster.' I sometimes have to remind myself that God really loves my friends, for some of them act unloving at times. An uplifting read. Enjoy your evening, Sara
