I read in Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now that trying to be right all the time is violent.
Then I heard program about kindness on NPR. It was by a British psychiatrist, who said it is hard to be kind in our competitive capitalist "warfare" culture. However, he noted that Obama is leading the way to move toward a more compassionate community friendly type govt. Thank God!
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
