To Be Special? It Will Come

If you want to be special; if you want to be unique; if you want to be remembered, then do not try to be.  Just do this: be good, be kind, be honest.  It will be a challenge.  Yes, it will be a challenge to be good and not expect others to be good in return.  Yes, it will be a challenge to be honest and kind.  Just do not expect everyone else to be honest and kind.  Generally, when you are good, kind and honest, others will respond the same way.  Be happy when they do.  Don't be frustrated when they don't.  Social graces are not a given.  Morality is not a given.  Yes, we have laws against certain conduct, but the law is not directly involved in our daily social interaction, and it is not necessarily a crime to be rude or  have a poor attitude.  Make your decision to be good.  Make your decision to be good, kind and  honest.  You will not regret it.  You will have made this a better world to live in.  Will you be special?  Yes.  Maybe  right away, maybe later on, but it will come.
