TODAY'S CONTEMPLATION
People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
-- Dr. Kent M. Keith
It reminds me of a sentence of an old Tamil song:
Vaalnthaalum yesum, Thaalnthaalum yesum
Translation:
Vaalnthaalum = When doing well,
yesum = Talk ill about you
Thaalnthaalum= when downtrodden
