Could any fault weight heavier on human conscience than that by which, however unwittingly, another human life had been distorted? I believe that we should all strive to be good models for others. We often attempt to influence others directly: by force, manipulation and blackmail, by nagging, pleading, hectoring, commanding. To change yourself is infinitely better than to change others and to be a living model of good use is perhaps the best way of indirectly helping others.
