We all think things and really want to say them but our filter wont let us. The filter is the voice of reason. It says..."yo...that is not cool to say out loud" or "now that is crossing the invisible line ". There are certain lines that when crossed, you can not return from. Last night, in a frustrated state i made a comment and was fired back on with such anger it left me reeling. It made me remember one of my personal rules...always. second guess kind gestures...it means you owe them something now. A "favor" by definition is: 1. something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act and 2. A gift bestowed as a token of kind regard and love. Please don't hold it over a persons head as if they owe you something now. If you offer as kindness, then expect nothing in return even if after 3-4 weeks of waiting for that favor ...they grow impatient. Its human nature. Turn the tables and put yourself in the other persons shoes. You might see things very differently.
