Kindness

It takes no time and very little effort to be kind to people. Tell someone that they look good today. Compliment them on something in their lives. Their looks, their behavior, the way they do something. Acknowledge the energy they put into life, the special way they do things. Our humanity is dying. Society grows colder and more aloof every day. People ignoring others in need because of a thousand different excuses, none really worth jack shit yet all being generally accepted by the masses. People are becoming more self-absorbed daily. Concerned only by their own lives they stumble through their days with tunnel vision. Focusing inwardly they are completely blind to the struggles and needs of others. Instead of feeling bad for others misfortune they instead feel gratitude that its not happening to them. Turning a blind eye to the suffering around them for fear of it being contagious. You know, one small simple act of kindness, of humanity per day, things like holding a door open, paying a compliment, acknowledging someone’s efforts, their struggles. One simple act a day can change the lives of 365 people a year. The smallest action, something that is nothing to you but a smile, a simple remark, a passing thought, only minutes of your life, can mean absolutely everything to someone else. A kind word, a compassionate ear, a helping hand can all have the ability to change someone’s life for the good. Regardless of your situation, regardless of how other people act or behave, regardless of how people feel or think we are all in this shit together. There is only a very vague difference between us, on a primal level we are all exactly the same. We are all made of star dust. All originating from the same source we are in fact all one. My problems are your problems and yours mine. Our fears are shared as are our dreams. By helping him or her you are in fact actually helping out yourself. Kindness, like love is a very powerful frequency. A vibration strong enough to change the world it is also quite contagious causing a ripple effect that quite frankly we are in desperate need of. Understand the magic that you contain, the magic that you are and unleash it upon the world. Open yourself to the love that is born within you. Stop letting your fear overwhelm and bury your compassion. Refuse to allow your judgements and opinions of others to numb you to their needs, to mute your compassion, your humanity. Realize that they in fact want us to be separated, that their goal is to divide us. They don’t want us working together, they fear it. They want you to hate what isn’t you, what’s different. They want you to focus on the differences, differences that have more to do with location and climate then anything else and they want them to repulse your core. They promote a need to be better then, to be superior. Applauding independence, encouraging the idea of self while pushing away from a togetherness. A connectivity. Keeping you right where they want you, guiding you with your puppet strings. With our puppet strings. Because we are connected whether you want it or not. You are me and I you, and we are everything else as well. I am me and you are you, singularly we are demigods capable of magnificent acts. Immortal and unstoppable. But together we extend beyond anything that can be described, be explained. Together we form like voltron and become God. So if you can’t love yourself then love somebody else. And if you can’t love another I hope you love yourself. Look out for each other and take it easy on yourselves.
