It did have that feel to it. It has an inspiring meaning though … ~~~~ : – )

Such a cute photo, and I love that quote. It’s so true, yet so many people forget to put it into practice in every day life. Thanks for the reminder! Xo Pam

My favorite Plato quote of all time. Wish it were infallibly contagious. Thanks for spreading your kindness lighting our way xo

It’s so simple, yet often so hard to practice. Empathy is so powerful…

That quote is one of the best blueprints for compassion. Thanks for the reminder, Lorna.
I use the concept when someone is driving painfully slow on our roads where places to pass are more rare than $1,000 bills. I think about that driver having to go somewhere and being petrified of driving at the ripe ol’ age of 92!

When I saw that picture, I knew it was perfect for the quote. Don’t know if that’s what Plato had in mind, but it works for me! 🙂

I thought so, too. And not controversial. 😉

Thanks. Felt like keeping it simple today.

Nice quote and true. A small but important lesson in consideration and selflessness.

Good thought to start a day. Excellent thought to live a life with.

So true. I love the picture.
