..............searching the lives of saints and sisters

There are times in life, when i feel like searching the lives of saints and sisters, reading their views, their struggles, joys and how they approached God when faced with turmoil, doubt or how conscious they were to sufferings of humanity and the efforts they made to lessen or alleviate them but some times the lives of ordinary people living ordinary lives, with its struggles and joys  pull me.I am impressed by people who think about others, as to what they say, do and think can have effect on others but they are few , in  the ocean of million others who are so occupied with their own lives that they scarcely realize how their ignorance and empathy to others takes away the smile from others lives.
Throwing garbage on the open, not helping an elderly , a cold look, a hurtful remark  can snatch a moments joy from  someone else life. 
It needs effort and a conscious attempt, to be aware of others around.It also depends on ones upbringing.Just as looking good and losing weight requires effort, a sympathetic attitude needs cultivation, more acquired by watching the peers around.
Live a life of fragrance and spread fragrance around to others too whenever possible
Do to others as you would want others to unto you.
