I know most people try hard

to do good and find out too late

they should have tried softer.

Most truths are like that, easy to hear or recite, hard to live in the sense that slowness is hard for most of us, requiring commitment, perseverance, and return after you stray. Because the job is not to know; it’s to become. A sociopath knows what kindness is and how to weaponize it; a saint becomes it.

Many times when things start to get good, we tend to stop working as hard. That allows the ego to slip back in. So the best thing to do when things get good is to actually work harder. Remember, it works if you work it.”
