Everyday we’re faced with a myriad of choices. These seem like good metrics with which to consider our options. They seem like particularly good criteria to use for assessing our reaction to something or to someone.

That said, I think simply stopping to evaluate, no matter what gauge you use, is really the key.

“To be mindful entails examining the path we are traveling & making choices that alleviate suffering & bring happiness to ourselves & those around us.”
