Be Kind to Others
It has been said that looks or behaviour will never fully capture the tortures of the heart.
A well dressed or badly dressed lady
A silent/bubbly man
A withdrawn/outgoing teenager
A quiet/loud little boy or girl
You can't really know. While you can guess sometimes, it is impossible to fully know the depth of people's pain.
What can one then do than to be kind.
Be kind with your words and actions!
Someone who has added or lost weight might be on medications
That always forward man or woman might be hiding a deep loss or pain.
Even that suddenly sharp tongued person might be hurting deeply.
Children or teenagers who become withdrawn all of a sudden might be fighting low self esteem, bullying and other issues.
Today, decide to be kind:
• Think before you say that word, or make that facial expression.
• Stop reading meaning to everything people do- many are not even conscious of the things you are complaining about
• Express empathy when people confide in you- know when to advise and when to just listen and hug.
• Tell people how valuable they are to you- you might be saving a life.
• Share your little (time, kind words, finances etc.)with someone.
