Wisdom of the Week |
What shall a man do when he meets with some misfortune in the future if he talks about others' shortcomings now?" - Quotations from Mencius
Mencius reminds us that we should always take care in what we say. Misfortune is never far from any of us and none of us is perfect. If we heed the warning to be kind and not glory in others' shortcomings, we will find the favor returned when we most need the compassion of others. We hope that you will always be surrounded by friends with kind words.
