How do we punish those momentarily gone wrong?

We teach others how to treat us by our treatment of them coupled with our own level of self-respect.

Never should we be surprised at the level of comfort or discomfort we experience in our interactions with others. We have invited it.

Fortunately, we are in control of our own behavior, which means we have the choice to act responsibly and with respect for others every moment of our lives.

We can be certain that we'll be treated in similar fashion throughout the day. The terms of life are simple when defined in this way. We get what's our due -- and we've prearranged it ourselves.

It's seldom that circumstances discourage us as much as our relations with others. Most often our frustrations or depression are people-centered. 

The good news is that we have the capability to favorably influence all outcomes that involve other persons.

At every opportunity, remember the treatment we each desire and offer that to others.
