I was going to get a pedicure on Thursday and didn't have anything to read while I was being soaked, buffed, razored, massaged and painted. I stopped by Smith's and picked up The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Is this a book that most people have read? Seems like I've heard the title a lot. Anyway, I couldn't put it down. These were a couple of my favorite quotes from the book:
"Strangers," the Blue Man said, "are just family you have yet to come to know."
Wouldn't it be great if everyone understood this?
The next one is:
Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.
I've understood this concept of the need to forgive others for quite a while. (Definitely haven't mastered it yet.) But I thought this was great wording.
