Do
We Leave Marks or Scars?
What
a ponderous question. This should be a
fun and short
When
I use the word “mark”, I’m using it in the positive, most effective way
possible. If I leave a mark, that is a
good thing. I’ve done good work and
someone’s life is marked by my presence and example to follow.
I’ve
had some significant men and women leave good marks on my life: College
professors, co-workers, authors, a few films.
They have marked me in a way that none other could mark me. Most recently was the film Won’t You Be My Neighbor. Mr. Fred Rogers certainly marked the lives of
many kids who grew up to become successful adults. This film marked me in causing me to rethink
what I do and re-freshened my objective in pursuit of being one who marks people
for good.
On
the other hand, one who leaves scars is not something I seek. Scars are harsh reminders of something I’d
rather not relive.
If
we’re going to leave something behind, let it be marks of encouragement,
esteem, faith and belief, and high and lofty ideals.
Something to think on,
in less than 60 seconds.
