I've constantly seen people who are dying inside and getting deeper into the grip of negative emotions because they are surrounded by people who do not show any element of kindness. It's sad especially when it's obvious that it doesn't cost much to show kindness to someone.
Genuine kindness doesn't have to cost a fortune. Sometimes, just to say "you are amazing" to your neighbor who's going through hell is enough to lighten up the person's mood. Try saying kind things to those around you and see how that will lift up their mood. Yeah! It works like magic.
So, if it's assumably so easy to spread kindness, why are people so deprived of it in this world?
I dunno. I really don't know why some Dads break their back each day to provide for their household, yet, they are deprived of kindness by the same people they are trying to take care of. Why do so many Mums work so hard and sacrifice parts of their life to run their home, yet, they get mistreated by the same person they make those sacrifices for?
Think about these for a moment... Just because you boarded an Uber and you are the customer and we all stick with the "customer is always right" blah blah blah - does that give you the right to treat the Uber driver like a piece of shit? Some customers go wild on their high horse. I'm not even making that up.
Oh... She's a waitress who serves meals in a restaurant and her yearly earning is less than what you earn in a day. Good for you. But, does that make her less of a human? Does that really give you the right to make a caricature of her and cajole her like a peasant?
"Give credit when Credit is due"
I don't know how often this has to be said before it sinks in. However, it feels like we are in an era where this has to be on repeat because the dog-eat-dog approach that defines this modern lifestyle isn't exactly commendable. We all are supposed to care, but it's a shame... Who really cares? Who's still interested in treating others the way they want others to treat them?
Think about those for a moment...
Before I go any further, I've got to back up my words with action by first showing appreciation to DreemPort and also to @gregscloud of Kindness Community for collaborating this March to make it a month of Kindness. This is the first week of the collaborative challenge and I'm all in for this adventure.
In Conclusion; We all have what it takes to be a force for good and we can achieve that by showing kindness to ourselves, neighbors, families, and to a stranger whom we may meet just once in a lifetime. Every time you have an opportunity to say or act towards someone, make sure you apply the golden rule to that.
If you do these genuinely, you will make the day better for a lot of people.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.
