By soothing your inner conflict,
by sacrificing the impulse to express
your anger, your negativity,
with a slap, a look, or offending words,

by not seeing the other person
as an enemy,
but sometimes even with compassion,

this kind of behavior leaves an imprint
on the soul of the other person,
but also on the universal soul,
and the world instantly
becomes a little bit better
than it was before…
