Kindness Matters

perspectives Jul 30, 2021


This world could use more kindness.

There is so much of it in the world already, but sometimes it gets overshadowed by the unkindness we see in the news and on social media. 

Kindness does spread. When we act with kindness towards others we are likely to get that back. Even when it’s not generally someone’s nature.

For example, some people through their own life experiences, expect others to be disrespectful, unkind, or judgmental. When they are met with compassion and understanding it exposes them to a kindness that they may never have experienced. 
 
Sometimes we are too involved with the busyness of our lives, that we forget that kindness matters. Being kind could simply mean saying "please & thank you", holding the door for the person behind you, or taking the time to really listen to someone when they speak. 

The more kindness we can model for the next generation, the kinder the world will become!
