Much like everyone else lately, I recently have watched the new Netflix series called "13 Reasons Why" and it definitely caught my attention. If you do not know, the show focuses on suicide and the main character, Hannah, constructs 13 tapes corresponding to 13 people who led her to commit suicide. The show inspired me to write about why people need to spread kindness to others because you never really know what people are going through, or how they will react to certain situations.
Some people think it is okay to pick on others and to make fun of them, especially if it is towards their friends, but in reality, it isn't okay at all. Sure, there is a time and a place to have fun and be sarcastic, I get that because I am the same way, but it does not involve belittling people.
It is important to be mindful of what you say to others as well because you never know how they will interpret what you say. This could even apply to certain actions people do as well. If you actually take a moment for yourself, you eventually realize that everyone is just living life like you and I. We all go through our good and bad days, but what you say and how you say it to someone really can impact a person, either positively or negatively.
That is why I always think before I say anything to anyone because I know words can hurt people sometimes. I strive to spread kindness to others because I know that is what I would want in return, so what is the point of being rude? It does noone any good. Of course, everyone gets into arguments once in a while, that is just how life goes. However, if you are just going out of your way to hurt someone's feelings, then that is pretty messed up, my friend.
There are people out there who struggle every single day to get out of bed and do normal life things, so if they hear something negative, it could set them over the edge. That is why I think it is crucial for people to be kind to others and just learn to stop being so mean and hateful. Being nice towards others is so easy, but people still waste their time and energy being hurtful to others. It does not make sense to me because you could put all that energy towards a good cause and make someone feel better about themselves.
Sometimes people just need to hear some encouraging and kind words in order to bring a smile to their face, so why not just do it already? Being kind to someone could change their entire day if you let it. Try and put this to the test by complimenting someone today, or maybe even reach out to one of your friends and let them know that you are proud of them. The little things mean the most to people and go a long way, so be kind to others and get some good karma on your side.
