The letter from the 11-

if a bad temper is catch-
ing reminded me of

something I learned,

from an w
ton.
For every act of rude-
ness ‘or hostility, return
an act of kindness or
consideration. For exain-
ple, if someone cuts you
' off in traffic, and you'see
someone else having
trouble getting on to a
busy highway, deliber-
ately ae the right of

ing Kindness to’ the per-
son from whom you re-

celved the rebuff, But it

isn't always ‘possible,
Perhaps you feel too
much hostility, or the

now gone on his way.

turuing hostility “with

love to the next person

credible things: It helps
defuse your anger and
gives you the pleasure of
a Warn response.
