메리 크리스마스~!

이번 크리스마스는 불쌍한 사람들을 위하여 한가지씩이라도 선행을 베푸는 성탄이 되길 빕니다.
내년에는 바라시는 일 모두 이루시길~!

그래도 사랑하십시오 - 마더 데레사

사람들은 불합리적이고
자기중심적이고 비논리적입니다.
그래도 사랑하십시오.

당신이 선한 일을 하면
이기적인 동기에서 하는 것이라고
비난받을 것입니다.
그래도 좋은 일을 하십시오.

당신이 성실하면
거짓된 친구들과 적을 만나게 될지도 모릅니다.
그래도 사랑하십시오.

당신이 선한 일을 하면
내일은 잊혀질 것입니다.
그래도 선을 행하십시오.

당신이 정직하고 솔직하면
상처받을 것입니다.
그래도 정직하고 솔직하십시오.

당신이 여러 해 동안 만든 것이
하룻밤에 무너질 지도 모릅니다.
그래도 만드십시오.

사람들은 도움이 필요하면서도
도와주면 공격할 지도 모릅니다.
그래도 도와주십시오.

세상에서 가장 좋은 것을 주면
당신은 발길로 채일 것입니다.
그래도 가진 것 중에서
가장 좋은 것을 주십시오.
