How is it, we speculated together this morning, that some people are basically happy - despite some fairly significant inconveniences - and others just seem to battle against the odds all the way? Well, the wisdom of a 90-year old reported to me later in the day that she thinks it is because so many people have been kind to her...from earliest childhood memories.
It doesn't take much effort to be kind to a child, really; most are quite likeable if you give them half a chance ;) Would we choose to act differently, I wonder, if we knew that our actions - however apparently insignificant at the time - would form a memory to last 90 years or so?
