Kindness is definitely a subject that I think needs to be spoken of, and spoken of in the right way. Our world has lost touch with itself. All I see everywhere is "hate this" and "hate that", and it honestly breaks my heart. The world we live in has become such a negative and degrading place. Every day I hear talk of war, hate crimes, attack on police, trash talk among nations and leaders, and all of it just keeps getting worse.
I feel like people have forgotten what it truly means to be kind and care about those around us. I am not saying we should not stick up for ourselves, or fight for our country, but I am saying that within our own country there is nothing but hate being spread. We have begun to think it is okay to solve all problems with violence. We are harming and killing our own people because of miscommunications and lack of judgment.
Something we need to understand is that we need to have compassion for other human beings. We need to have empathy. We need to be able to take a step back, see the bigger picture, and understand that not everything is about us.
My advice is to start trying to spread kindness. Our world is not going to change in one night, it will take time. Small acts of kindness can create a massive wave that will begin to wash upon those around us and spread like wildfire. Begin to open doors for others, help people carry their stuff, and smile at people who walk by on the street and in hallways. Let's change the world day by day with joy, love, and unending benevolence. Wouldn't we all like to see a world with more kindness?
