Read and see....
when i was in school there was a girl that would constantly bully everyone, she was full of hate. Everyday she would be mean to me but I always responded with a smile. this behavior between her and I lasted a few weeks until that one day when she approached me after class asking for my forgiveness! I will never forget that day, she said she felt guilty for treating me badly when I was always sweet to her, she asked me to forgive her and that she was having serious problems at home and she did not know how to control her anger. I heard from several students that she was an abused child of divorced parents. What I am trying to say is the following... be a good person to every one smile at every one be there for every one and show major compassion because you never know what the person is going through in life, a simple smile or a simple "God Bless You" can truly change a life.

Love is contagious. very contagious. It only takes a spark to get the fire going........it only takes one person to spread a whole lot of love.....and love makes the world a better place. When people say "spread the love", they mean that you should always willing to make sacrifices for your brothers and sisters, to be there to offer your support, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to set the downtrodden free, in whatever little way you can. Being positive, to me, means trusting in the light given by the flame of a single candle in a universe of darkness. Always looking towards the light, even when darkness surrounds you.

When I was in middle school they brought a prison inmate to our class to talk to the class. Obviously, he had made some bad choices in life and probably hurt someone. But he said that while in prison he decided to try to enjoy life. He would greet people with "good mornings" and "hellos" and smiles. He would also enjoy his simple pleasures like eating. After a while, things started to change for him for the better.
Was he genuine? I don't know. But acts of kindness does have a tendency to grow and spread. It's easy to be angry and hateful in this world. I guess sometimes we all need a reminder that love has to start somewhere.

It doesn't mean to acquiesce to bogus untruths. It means to constantly try to find the common Truths But you have to love the supreme Love to know love otherwise your love will fall way short. Learn how to Love God first, then you can love others otherwise you wont know what love is because love in this world is a perverted reflection of the actual love. For info go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhuada-tells how to truly love and be happy

It means to only give out positive energy when you can. What you send out into the world shall return to you, and so if you want a better life you need to send out only positive energy.
The keep spreading love thing is just nonsense. just be good to yourself and the others around you and you will live a better life.

Understand that you're an integral part of the world and people around you. You're not some solidly defineable entity that exists separately from it all... then cultivate altruism with compassion, common sense, wisdom, etc. and you'll be on the right path.

It means to be kind to everyone. If someone got your order wrong at McDonald's, don't *itch at them, ask nicely to have it corrected, and say "Thank You." Open doors for people, help out a stranger without expecting anything in return. Just be nice.

It's easy to get pessimistic over world news--but it's always been bad---life wasn't meant to be lived focusing on the negative--the goal in life--for everyone-- is to be happy--besides that--smiling is contagious!!--:]
