Do I have an effect on other people?


It would be impossible not to have an effect on other people, unless we lived in a location where we have no connection with people. From the moment we are conceived, we have begun to have an impact and that continues throughout our life. The amount of impact will vary of course, depending on the interaction we have with people and the results of those interactions.


The way in which we interact with people, can have a very positive impact on the people we meet during the course of our life. When we treat people with respect, even though they may not deserve it, they have the opportunity to learn from the experience.


It takes time to find a good balance in life and to accept what we cannot change. Knowing that we do have an impact on people, should remind us of our responsibility and guide us through our life, without being destructive - or interfering in the lives of others.


People get tired, many have problems in their life, and it is likely that you will meet many different types of people. Some are pleasant, some are not. Some are genuine, some are not. Some are arrogant, greedy, selfish and abusive - you have the choice not to become one of them.
