It’s a simple idea. It’s one you see on tee shirts and Church road signs and things of that sort.
“Kindness is All”
It’s easy to dismiss such notions once the truths they contain have morphed into buzz-phrases.
And yet, we can’t jettison such an idea entirely; it still bears an unmistakable ring of truth.
Kindness matters.
It truly does.
We are living at a time when so many have discarded our shared, time-honored values of kindness and compassion and learn instead to act with indifference and selfishness.
Don’t succumb.
Even the broader culture in which we are living–where kindness seems to be in short supply, indeed–is sending an invitation to celebrate and practice kindness today.
I’ll chime in, too.
Be kind.
Be kind when it’s easy.
Be kind when the voices urging selfishness, indifference and cruelty roar their loudest.
Kindness is All.
