And one thing I've noticed–when you nurture good, sometimes it very gently fights evil. For instance, in the case of that note to the chef: I know from friends who are in the restaurant business that it can really wear people down. A word of encouragement can do wonders to buoy a person up, and then the rugged part of the day slides off more easily.

Thanks!

Two sides of the same coin: When you encounter evil in the world, fight it. But when you see good in the world, nurture it!
