ANYWAY
“People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered: Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies: Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you: Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone can destroy overnight: Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous: Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow: Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give the world your best anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God: it was never between you and them, anyway” – Anonymous

Thanks. I haven't seen this in a while. It is the essence of existentialism, and the God statement at the end is not necessary, but useful for some.

By all means, discuss it. It's all about the platinum rule - treat others as you WANT to be treated as opposed to how you've been treated.
