Conservative vs. Liberal

With all the election-goings-on, I thought it would be timely to re-share this reflection that I wrote over a year ago...

Conserve on pride;
Be liberal with humility.

Conserve on anger;

Be liberal with gentleness.

Conserve on selfishness;

Be liberal with generosity.

Conserve on thoughtlessness;

Be liberal with graciousness.

Conserve on gossip;

Be liberal with charity.

Conserve on slander;

Be liberal with genuine praise.

Conserve on complaining;
Be liberal with gratitude.

Conserve on resentment;

Be liberal with forgiveness.

Conserve on self-gratification;

Be liberal with sacrifice.
