When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.
Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments.That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.by Thich Nhat Hahn

Hebrews 13
"Let brotherly love continue and be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unaware"

I ask you now, have you come across some angels in your life path? Like the ones who bring a smile to your teary eyes with their smiles, who help light the way for others,open a door for someone or allow the other car to go through the intersection first even if you did get there ahead of them, and in whose path the flowers just seem to gently lean towards in a garden or nursery------and have you noticed that some of these ordinary people, just like you and I, do not even know they are angels?
God knows.
