Inspirational Words About Kindness
Today, some Inspirational Words About Kindness...
A friend called me recently to tell me that one of her daughter's teachers had committed suicide. Needless to say, everyone involved was extremely upset and dismayed by this.Many looked upon this as a very selfish act on the part of the teacher. I thought to myself how quick we are to judge another after the fact, when it is too late. And how terribly slow we are to recognize the walking wounded all around us.The news of this teacher's suicide reminded me of a story I read about an elderly woman who had decided to commit suicide one morning, but someone had stopped to feed some pigeons with her in the local park and the kindness of that one stranger changed her mind and saved her life. We never know what is in another person's heart. What level of pain or anguish they may be going through. And in some cases, their pain may be so great that living no longer seems an option to them.We may never know the often immense consequences upon another, of an unkind word, a thoughtless deed, or a hasty decision made from an unexamined heart.Each day, everyone of us, has a new opportunity to make a huge difference in our world. If I had one dream for humanity, it would be that tomorrow morning we would all wake up with amnesia, remembering nothing. We would then see the world for the very first time, with new eyes, the way a new born baby sees it, except that we would now be in a grown up body.We would have no conception of what was considered to be beautiful or good or important according to society's ridiculous standard of worth. Every person and everything would be a blessed opportunity for us, just the way they are.Life would be waiting with another possibility for us to be all that we could be. Another opportunity to practice the gift of kindness in every precious moment. Another chance to rise above our mere mortal existence and for that one grand moment in time to walk among the gods. Another day to love.Stay tuned for more inspirational words, motivational sayings and life qoutes to come...
