So, welcome back to the Be Attitudes #2 Be Kind. What can I say about kindness? Kindness is it’s own reward. Kindness encompasses so many things, so many actions. It takes so little to be kind. It can be as simple as a smile, or a nod of acceptance or even the yielding of a right of way to a complete stranger. Kindness is the opening of your heart to others, especially strangers, and the acceptance that they are entitled to being treated well and fairly no matter their situation or condition. Being kind to those who are considered, or appear to be, our enemies
is the highest mark of an enlightened soul.
Being kind in this modern, pushy, fast paced world is not often considered expedient, but truly how can we even think about our own future and how we will be treated if we do not take kindness towards others into account? As Jesus said “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me.” Surely at some time in each and every one of our lives we will be that least brother., and we can only hope to be treated as well as we have treated others.
So be Kind it actually takes so little effort and can mean so much. It really does feel good, and in the end that’s all we want is to feel good, isn’t it?
