Philosophy

I saw a sign that said: Everyone is fighting their own battles, so be kind to them. This goes right along with a philosophy I have already had. That is: Everyone has a reason for what they do. It isn't always a good reason in someone else's mind, but to them it makes sense. It is a battle they are fighting with themselves or with what is happening to them. So my reminder to myself today is to be patient with those around me and realize that someone may be hurting. I need to reach out of myself and be helpful not hurtful.
