There IS some ono you dislike; some one who Jars upon your nerve; some on of whom you disapprove, and when ever tho name of that Individual ia men tioned you are con- f - : i'U;i Bclou of a dixa Sroeable sonsa.tion. It Is rever a source of happiness ta dislike any one. There Is always a penalty attached to an aversion. And quite un consciously to most of u there Is a alow but sure de generation taking place in our char acters when we Rive much thought to the people we dlillke, because we are grafting upon our natures some portion of those dlsa greable traits and qualities which oc cupy our minds. . ., , Ve become, to irreater or less degree, like the things of which we think and talk. If, therefore, you th'rig and talk a great deal about the faults and failings of your friends (or your enemies), you are grafting a branch, of poison Ivy on the vine of your own heart This is a scientific fuct. Every thought has its effect on our natures. Just as every moment spent In practise of music or painting la forming our habits in those arts. The art of character building ia the greatest and raott Important art and profession In life, so it is a matter of serious moment how we do this work. No one of us finds it possible, to like every person we meet. There are people so unlovable, so aggressive, so un pleasant to encounter, that one would be made of stone who did not recognize their repellent traits. Yet were we to set about looking for some agreeable quality In those an tagonlstio personalities we would find them. This, then, should be our work. The moment we encounter a disagree able or even an unattractive Individual, if we have time to give that person any thought at ail, lot us turn the mind toward a path of exploration and seek for something worth praising. ' And finding It, let us spak of It, Then having spoken of It, let us think of this quality whenever the person oc curs to tis aa an obJct of criticism. It will prove an Interesting experiment and will help another while we help ourselves. There, is nothing more disastrous la the way of mental processes than dwell ing on the Uk'ly, painful and d:iureeatle side of Ufe. It Is not only a waste of time and energy, but it is a criminal waste of these precious thing. It does no good, and it does great harm. There are occasions and situations where the dark and palutul and disagree able things of life iniiKt he mentioned; must be vecognlzed, that they may be changed. The child who falls in the dirt of the street must b recognized as a soiled child, needing to be washed and clothed In fresh garments. It wptihl be folly to smllo and say; "nun along, child; you aie clean." The child nilKht not recog nize its own need ot a 'bath, but others would recognize it without nwking the changes necessary to Its beat well being. Fiut It would be an even greater folly to sit for days and weeks dwelling In thought on the accident whlvh had be fallen the child, and trying to obtain data of other similar accidents to other chil dren, forgetting all the beautiful throngs of clean, swet children . swarming over the earth. That Is precisely what thousands of Intelligent human beings are dulng with their minds and voices. They are emphaxlng the faults, follies and misdeeds of the people they know, especially the people they dislike, and they are Ignoring the lovely things which exsit all around us everywhere. They are doing nothing to lessen or change the evils tbey deplore, but are preparing their own natures to develop the same traits by continually talking of them. If you know some one you dislike very much, begin today and look for some praiseworthy quality ir, that person to think about and to talk about. It will prove an exctllont disinfectant for your mind, Instead c Inviting the contagion of the unpleasant things you find in another; by thinking and talking of them. Fass as lightly and rapidly as possible over the ugly and dlsagreablo traits of human nature. Accent the !g-eeable untf worthy. Bay some good thing every day about, some one you do not like. And before you know il you will find you are ceasing to dislike that Indi vid uaL Copyright. 1911.
