I believe in justice and truth, without which there would be no basis for human hope. ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama.I saw a bumper sticker this week that pleased me on the pillars of character. A lovely reminder that we are all accountable for being our best, and helping those smaller than us to develop a sense of character, by the kindness we invest in the tending of their development.
In the school system, these values are taught as "TRRFCC".. My son Kyle was in Kindergarten he was introduced to the Six Pillars of Character-- a lovely notion that we grownups would do well to study and teach as well to be our best and develop character that counts! The picture above was taken when Kyle was in Kindergarten.
