Learning What We Live

We Learn What We Live
If you live with criticism, you learn to condemn.
If you live with hostility, you learn to fight,
If you live with ridicule, you learn to be shy.
If you live with shame, you learn to feel guilty.
If you live with tolerance, you learn to be patient.
If you live with encouragement, you learn to appreciate.
If you live with fairness, you learn justice.
If you live with security, you learn to have faith.
If you live with approval, you learn to like yourself.
If you live with acceptance and friendship,
you learn to find love in the world.

What are you living with?
