kindness

Oct 06, 2004 23:28

I often wonder why it's so hard for people to be kind.

Me, I think of myself as a kind person. Even if it's someone I don't like, I try to be kind to them. And if they're doing something I don't like, I try to justify it in my mind. Like if a car cuts me off on the highway, I think that they just didn't see me. Or if someone snaps at me, I figure they're having a bad day, or maybe I just deserve it.

But what I observe is people aren't kind to people a lot of times. They'll call them cursewords and call them stupid. Sometimes people physically hurt other people, and sometimes they kill them.

I'm not trying to judge those people. I'm just wishing that people would be kinder. I believe that if everyone showed kindness all the time, there wouldn't be as much pain and suffering in this world. I don't believe that such a world would be boring. I truly believe that such a world would be a beautiful place to live in. It would be heaven on earth.

This is why I try to be kind to everyone, even if it is hard. Even if I don't like all people. Even if some people are mean to me. I still want to be kind to them. I don't want to be nasty or to do mean things to them. I want to love everyone.
