Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.

Genuinely religious people do not claim that only followers of their faith go someplace wonderful while nonbelievers all go someplace horrible.
The more a person curses and harms you, the more you should respect him. The Buddha always said that we should strive most to help and serve our enemies and that we should always put them ahead of ourselves.
Once you begin to cleanse your heart, you develop such attitudes naturally.

With eventual supreme enlightenment.
