There is something to be said about being kind to those around us.
Everyone has experienced a time when their friend or loved one has
done something that could be perceived as a slight. Then the
inevitable response to that perceived slight will be anger or
sarcasm. The correct response would be to just let it go or not say
anything at all.
This concept is almost cliché. Everyone preaches being kind.
Everyone says kindness is the best thing you can possible give to
another. But really, it isn't always as easy as it is made out to be.
Kindness is a hard thing to continually offer. Especially in the face
of all the negativity that we all see every single say. Though it
isn't easy, it isn't as hard as it seems. It can all start with just
turning one negative comment or thought into one positive one.
Continue that trend and eventually you will be the kind person that
you want to be and everyone will love you for it.
Everyone says these things, but not everyone puts it into action. It
is a hard thing to let go of your anger or to actively avoid making
snide or hurtful remarks sometimes, especially if it has become
commonplace. All I ask is that, at least for today, take a break.
Stop and think about everything you are going to say. If it isn't
positive, just don't say it. In all honesty, this is mostly an issue
of self discipline. It is always easier to say something critical
than to offer praise, but that does not mean it is the best course of
action. Being kind of not easy, but it is forever rewarding.
