"All you need is love," chorused the Dim Sum Dollies at their Another Crazy Christmas gig last evening. "Love is all you need."

The real world can be cold, unforgiving landscapes - at times quite inhospitable.

There are people is high positions who have conveniently forgotten that there was a time when they were someplace else, isolated and alone. Some people forget where they came from. Boy, have I got news for you: only grave diggers start from the top. Show a little compassion, you little people.

No, I'm not going soft. It's still big-dog-eat-little-dog in pursuit of a piece of business. But there's no reason why the office or home environment could not encourage more civility and humility.
