I was speaking with my brother, the born raconteur. There had been a difficulty which others and I were trying to resolve. I explained to my brother, "We are trying our best."
He looked at me with eyes of kindness, and said gently; "And our best can only be good enough."
The situation eventually resolved. I never forgot my brother's courteous words.
When a difficult situation is at hand, a gentle spirit of kindness can defuse much.
