You can never really know how your actions or words may affect someone. I was walking along at lunch today and noticed a cool paint job on a house. The guy was outside and I asked him if this was his house. \”Yes\”, he said suspiciously and cautiously. I told him I really liked it. He said \”Really? You made my day!\” I responded \”Oh good!” He went on \”Yeah I was going to shoot myself, so thank you, you made my day \”. Now I assume he wasn\’t really going to shoot himself and was using a figure of
speech, but you never know. But the point of it is, there are many moments like this, when you can choose to say nothing, you can choose to say something negative or you can choose to make a genuine
authentic positive comment. You never know how it\’s going to change
something for someone- maybe something small, but it may be something big.
