Dr. Twerski's Sober Thought - October

October 18

Concern for the Common Good

We must respect the rights of others, just as we do our own. A man who was clearing his yard threw rocks into the street. A wise man rebuked him, Why do you throw things from someone else's property into your own? The thrower later went bankrupt and lost his property. How wise was the man who rebuked me, he said. It is the street that is my permanent property. We may selfishly think that what we own is ours forever. The only thing that is truly ours is that which we share with the rest of the world. If we injure anything or anyone in the world, we are injuring ourselves.
