Do Good Anyway… A Meditation

On the wall of the home for the dying Mother Teresa had a liturgy for loving:-.

Anyway.

People can be unreasonable, illogical and self-centred.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

Give the world the best you’ve got; it may never be enough;
But give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

    Perfectly simple, and so painfully true. This reads like ‘Agape in action’.
