Do you see what I mean? If, when I walk down the street, I have a strong feeling of kindness for everyone I see, a feeling that naturally makes me have a big genuine smile, do you think it bothers me if people think I have bad posture, or don't approve of my clothes, or whatever else? Having a daily practice where I make contact with my goodness and do something to help it grow gives me certainty that my direction is good. If other people still think badly of me for some superficial reason, it just seems like they're blind to what's important, and overly concerned with trifles.
