Wisdom of a Mother
Two wrongs do not make a right
In a maths formula two negatives make a positive. In life this is not true. If someone does you a wrong, reciprocating with another wrong does not rectify the situation. In fact it does the opposite and compounds the bad behaviour and reduces yourself.
You may not be able to prevent others doing you a wrong, but you do get to choose how you respond. Your choice expresses how you are as a person and how you chose to live your life.
Dedicated to my mother and the wonderful two little boys in our family who represent the next generation arriving.
