Three Discoveries

At one time or another the more fortunate among us make three startling discoveries.

Discovery number one:
    Each one of us has, in varying degree, the power to make others feel better or worse.

Discovery two:
    Making others feel better is much more fun than making them feel worse.

Discovery three:
    Making others feel better generally makes us feel better.
