I received three separate emails today, all of which were solely written with the purpose of thanking me for having helped them.
It’s me who should thank them. I sometimes wonder what I have within me to give to the world. I often worry that I can’t ever do enough to erase the weight of all the mistakes I’ve ever made; if any of us can. In our youths we burden others constantly, make their lives harder – intentionally or unintentionally. We incur a debt that we must repay with good deeds.
There’s really only one good deed you can do. Life throws many burdens at all people; lightening them, even a little, for another is the coin you use to pay down your balance.
If I helped, even a little, then I made a deposit against my own balance. For the opportunity to do so, I sincerely thank you.
