Cold and flu season make it clear.
We infect those to whom we come near.
But why don’t we realize
that this also
applies
to fear and anger?
When we are diseased with these emotions,
they catch on and everyone feels in danger.
And while this contagious fact can make us feel bad,
there is no reason to be sad,
for just as germs and anger spread,
we can be contagious with
hope,
understanding,
compassion,
and love
instead.
Every. Single. Day.
