second hand emotions

April 12 | second hand emotions

Second hand smoke kills people. It’s true, despite the best efforts of billions of dollars from tobacco companies to prove otherwise.

Here’s what they didn’t tell you: it’s the exact same for anger. For outrage and vitriol, bitterness and contempt, you can take them into your soul from others as easily as catching cigarette smoke from the passenger seat.

Are the effects as deadly? Well, science hasn’t gotten that far yet. But you don’t have to be 6 feet underground to be a little more dead than you were yesterday.

What will you put into the world around you today?

What will you take from your environment?

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
