! Reciprosity

What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others’ said Confucius; ‘That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow’ said Rabbi Hillel; is reciprosity, then, all the love or charity, to use the fine old word, we need to live the life ‘in love and charity with our neighbour’; the life we’d love the whole wide world to live? Very nearly, most would say; but even in our age – especially in our age – a gentle voice should raise the thought, the whole Creation is one single act of love… that all around us offers us a godly smile, a goodly message; waits for us, so patiently, to smile back.
