IF YOU CAN...

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining, and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food everyday, and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,

through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,

If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,

If you can face the world without lies and deceit,

If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no

prejudice against, creed, color, religion or politics,

If you can give love unconditionally without pressure or expectation,

 

Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog.
