Joy

... an act of kindness, a source of joy


While waiting for my appointment with my doctor earlier, i chanced to read this passage about joy. I fully agree with Ralph's thoughts and i wish to beautify myself like this way.
There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
