✨ To meditate on today
According to Lieh Tzu, after receiving a lesson, the disciples of the Fan family, who used to mock people, changed their ways: they would get down from their chariots to greet respectfully even the humblest, such as beggars or horse-doctors. Today, greet with warm attention someone you usually pass without really seeing (a cleaner, a delivery person, a neighbour).
