7. It costs nothing to be nice.

That is so true, and I try to remember that in my ordinary, outside of DU life. It's not hard to smile and say something pleasant to someone, especially when dealing with someone whose job has them dealing with the public all day long. Grocery store clerks, receptionists, airline employees, nurses and patient attendants in hospitals, and so on. Especially if it seems as if the other person is having a rough day.

If there is any kind of purpose to life, I believe it's to be good to each other.
