beautiful ways to make me a better person and improve my life.

This was written on a jar of Turkish Delight that I received as a gift when I was studying abroad in Istanbul. It makes me happy and is a great way to live.

be as a river in givingness and generosity.
be as the earth in humbleness and modesty.
be as the sun in tenderness and mercy.
be as a corpse in anger and fury.
be as the night in concealing others' faults.
be as you act and act as you are.
