Kind people...

I have never met a person who does not believe, on some level, that they are kind. Maybe it is the groups I frequent (read: beautiful people!) but I can honestly say that most people have an intention to go about doing good.

Why is it then that our roads are filled with angry, stressed out drivers; our courts crammed with fighting families and corporates have cultures of greed and narcissism - where are the kind people?!

I know from experience that most acts of unkindness is actually directed at ourselves, at a sense of anger or fear triggered by a situation where we perceive ourselves to be vulnerable....almost a survival thing that takes over. This knowledge has been invaluable in working in corporates, where most often, kindness is seen as weakness.
 

Just for today... I am going to be kind to all living things - starting with myself!

 "We ought, every day at least,
to hear a little song,

read a poem,

see fine pictures,

and, if possible,

to speak a few kind words."
