Hi Boys and Girls,
Have you ever met a "mean" person?
If you haven't, well then I would say you are indeed most fortunate because you have learned the power of positive thinking.
But if you have met a mean person, sad to say, you represent about 99% of the population who have met cruel people because most everyone has at one time or another.
So, what constitutes a "mean" person or "mean" people?
Is it when they send you a nasty look, for no apparent reason?
Is it a whispered word they utter to another while you are standing there?
Is it the spreading of gossip?
Is it executing a mean act because they were instructed to do so by someone else?

Is it when they cut you off in line?
Is it when they negatively judged you?
Is it when you were excluded from sitting at a particular seat or kept from joining a group?
Is it when they wouldn't share, or play with you?
Well, whatever it was, yes you are correct, those behaviors are indeed "mean" behaviors.
So, what can and should you do?
Should you report it? Maybe...
But if you are like most children, it rarely seems to help anyway.
Consider:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
Forgive Them Anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives
Be Kind Anyway
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you
Be Honest and Sincere Anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous
Be Happy Anyway
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow
Do Good Anyway
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough
Give Them Your Best Anyway
In the final analysis, it is between you and God
It was Never Between you and Them Anyway.
The above lines were found in an orphanage where Mother Teresa once worked.
Its true author is unknown.
Sometimes all one can do is just to ignore it anyway as the lines express.
I suspect the more you focus on the "mean" behaviors from certain people, the more "mean" behaviors will surely follow you.
In fact, I am quite certain of this.
So, what can and should you do?
At the end of each day begin to give gratitude for all the GOOD things that have come your way.
Doing so, will erase all the "mean" actions people may have done on that day.
Look outside, count all those stars, for each one you see, know that a new friend is waiting for you; for each new bird song you hear, know many great things are being said about you, and for every good thing you do, know many more will follow you.
This is the way of the Universe. It will always be this way. The glass has always been full, since the day you were born, and will continue to be forever.
You are almost there kids, not to worry, all is well.

And here?
How many bird songs can you hear?
