What if we filled the world with so much love and expressed so much kindness until we have given everything there is in us to give ? Kindness is expressed in all forms; simple as a smile offered to a total stranger, a good morning to the person who just stands next to you or passes by you, the good old golden statements – Thank you, I’m sorry, please.
Come to think of it; mother Theresa was right in saying the world is more hungry for love than we are for food. After all, with just the right amount of love we wouldn’t have such enormous hunger for just a little food to put in the stomach. If we thought more about the next person we probably wouldn’t have so much suffering in the world so yeah, more love and kindness.
Someone may be having the worst day of their life and yours could be the word that saves them or sends them over a cliff. Your restraint from making that comment about a flaw that has been evident and apparent to someone for so long could save them from the next big tragedy. Most times if someone has a physical flaw, they know it already and so pointing it out to them like a chubby body, small legs, skin tone, certain hair type, etcetera is visible at every wake of the day and so don’t feel obliged to point it out. There is plenty of positive things to go around.
Say hello. Smile. Take a minute to listen to someone who asks for it and respond to them then get going with your business. Offer compliments to people it doesn’t cost you. Teach your child, sibling, that callous friend or indifferent relative to not be on the bully’s team. They could choose to stand on the side of light.
What if kindness became the common human way of life?
Show some love and kindness today.
