Kindness Is Possible | By Guy Farmer
Kindness is possible. Here's how I know it: Right at this moment, all over the world, people are doing things that are wonderfully kind, even when it means that they have to give up something in order to help someone else. At this very instant, countless people are doing nice things for others for no reason other than simply to be kind.
Human beings possess the ability to be deeply and genuinely kind to each other and the world around them. So why is it we don't live in this state of being all the time? It's because certain people have something to gain by disrupting or denying kindness, often because of inner issues that force them to be greedy, jealous, petty, or lust for power, even if it means hurting someone else. I contend that these are aberrations that can be healed, that human beings have a boundless capacity to do good rather than harm one another. So how do we do it? We literally change the culture.
Think of the power of millions or billions of people advocating for kindness over destructiveness. Each kind action sends ripples through the universe that lead in a positive direction. If enough of us support kindness it can literally set the tone for all of humanity, but it won't happen if nobody stands up. Creating a kind world requires that each of us sets an example by behaving kindly and encouraging others to do the same. Over time, we will reach a critical mass of people who truly believe the world doesn't have to be a place of pain and suffering and who behave accordingly. It all starts with you. What will you do today to help build a kind world?
Cheers,
Guy
