In the end only kindness matters. In my life I have experienced situations where I have been among very kind and welcoming people. I also have been in environments where the people just had a void of any kind of warmth. It’s hard to accept at times when your kind and respect others and in return they are rude or hateful. I’ve come to understand that these are usually really unhappy people. It’s powerful when you can show the latter type of people that your kindness is unwavering even amongst provocation. In fact, I’ve known kindness to warm even the coldest of hearts…sometimes it may take several interactions and or gestures to help foster a change in volatile individuals. There is a great joy in spreading kindness, in being a peace maker. The world already has enough cynics and gossipers. Can you recall a situation or maybe even a friendship where you have always been kind? But the relationship resulted in rejection or even was reciprocated with hatred or jealousy. We as humans have so many flaws, we envy, we hurt others but imagine the change if we were to focus our daily actions on loving others as ourselves? Be radical, be kind even to the unkind. Because in the end it’s only kindness that matters.
