Willard discusses a quote by H. Jackson Browne that says, "Kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end." We explore the impact that these things have had on us, and offer ideas as to the difference that can be made by "Paying It Forward".

nmania.....I have found that most "bullies" really have very little self esteam. Some times they were bullied themself & are just reciprocating. I have on more then 1 occation attempted to befriend or at least be decent & polite to these types. Frequently it makes them stop & think for a moment. Negitive turned positive. Sometimes it works....some times it doesn't, but I least I know I tried.

So, what restaurant do you go to often? (Just kidding)
You have my highest respect for taking the time to share these wise thoughts with the rest of us and living your life the way that you do.
Love peace and happiness to you.

i remember something like this happened to me, to a person i didn't know before, who was getting beated by two other guys, i went there and reduced one, the other ran away. after that i offered help, and took him to my house to heal him (he was in bad shape), now he's my best friend. It's amazing how much repercussion things like that have, by that time i thought it was nothing, but i guess i was wrong

even in that bad situation, there is another human being who memory of what you do and say is being printed in their heads. I know I have been rambling on for a while but just know that what Willard is saying is absolutely true. I have been in pretty hostile situations throughout my life, but it is the way I approach that will echo on in someones mind long after that incident has become the past in my mind as the years roll on. I hope that somewhat helped. Every situation is unique

YOU have the power to change. And take the bad situations as someone putting a spotlight on you and observing from the outside how nmania03 (sorry i don't know your name) responds to this particular situation and how he or she handles it. Just remember once again in any situation even bad when you interact with other human beings, everything you do and say will stay in peoples memories. Which makes the situation all the more serious because you realize it's not just about you and that

A lot of situations happen were the person being hostile still leaves in a fit of rage or still pissed off for lack of a better word. But at the end of the day I can almost bet that that person whoever he or she is, will look back in the day and recall the things that you said because that was the "bedrock" situation of that day. What you said earlier can and will affect that persons life whether or not she or he didn't look like it would register with them at the very moment in time.

If someone is negative towards you the natural response is to reciprocate the hostile action that was done to us. But with more understanding of self-awareness you realize how you respond is also affecting the life of the person who is acting hostile towards you. I know this is easier said then done especially if you are the one in that situation, there really isn't a straight up answer to that just because many hostile situations or circumstances have their own unique playout.
