Although there is an understanding of the need for being sweet in words and interactions, many times we find ourselves being rude to people. Although we try a lot to be nice and sweet (we are successful a few times too!) yet we are not able to sustain this all the time. There is some kind of negativity directly or indirectly expressed through our words and actions. This further creates negativity in our minds. When we are able to keep our mind sweet, i.e., free from any kind of bitterness or ill feelings, we are able to experience the beauty of life. There is no feeling of sorrow or negativity but the mind is nurtured to further positivity with everything that comes our way. So we are further open to all that is nice and beautiful and we express our own freshness and beauty in interactions. We are then able to experience constant growth and progress.
