Hurdles

Don't emotionally hold your spouse accountable 

for the sins of your parents.  

Don't hold your children emotionally accountable 

for the sins of your spouse.  

Don't react to the person in front of you 

because of the way they remind you of someone else.  

Don't hurt someone else

just because you have been hurt.  

Seek to spread your blessings, 

not your miseries.

Having been the victim

of selfishness or cluelessness

obligates you to know better

and give better 

to those in your life and care.

It certainly does not

entitle you 

to selfishness or cluelessness

of your own.
