Kindness, Beauty and Truth

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty and Truth. Albert Einstein

So does that mean that if we live our lives being kind to others, enjoying and creating beauty and always being truthful that we'll have the courage to be cheerful in the face of all obstacles? We sometimes encounter situations that make it difficult to put on a happy face. Perhaps what Einstein is saying, though, is that if we have Kindness, Beauty and Truth as our ideals, we'll be equipped with the tools we need to endure the sorrows and problems that sometimes occur and will have the strength we need to overcome our difficulties.

My wish for you is that your life will be filled with Kindness, Beauty and Truth.

Beautiful, Carolyn! I love how you always have something really interesting and thought-provoking to accompany your images. This photo is fabulous--my only complaint is that I can't see it in a much larger size!
