Stated in Christianity as turning the other cheek...

Stated in Buddhism as flowing with...

What kind of life could we create for ourselves, if we strove to be the best we are all capable of being?

And last from me, finally... living life from an abundant, win / win, altruistic position... and being great leaders, by supporting those around us in their own greatness, is truly a gift that we all can have and share... maybe... is what this life is really all about...
