Before you choose
To judge another
On how they look or act,
See through their eyes,
Hear with there ears,
And discover how you react.
Before you pass on
Nasty lies,
Or even tiny fibs,
Decide to feel
The horrid pain
Incurred inside your ribs.
Instead of tearing
Others down,
And crushing all their hope,
Try cheering up
Their sullen face,
Become a life long friend.
And if, perhaps,
You come across
A trial of your own,
Grief you did not
Pass along
Will find another road.
Have you ever heard of World Kindness Day? Don’t worry if you haven’t – most people haven’t heard of it. World Kindness Day is November 13th, and it’s a day to set aside the petty squabbles that people seem to love to engage in for all kinds of reasons. It’s the world’s chance to give “quick loans” of the heart to the rest of mankind. The usual excuses as to why you won’t or can’t, like race, gender, class, religion, political leanings, these are mere contrivances and trivialities that can be set-aside for a few days out of the year. Its nice to see people together beyond this factors that sometimes affecting them, or just simply being equal in all sense. If you can’t think of a local charity, you can check out the online charity portal www.causecast.org, or look at various websites such as www.actsofkindness.org that have many ideas that you can pick up on. You could maybe even take out quick cash loans that you can use to pay it forward, as it were. You have to pay the lender back, but the satisfaction that comes from acts of kindness is beyond price.
