I'm poet Guy Farmer and I started this site because I felt it necessary to contribute to building a kinder, more compassionate and loving environment to counterbalance the fear, anger, and negativity that clouds our milieu.

This site is dedicated to all the wonderful human beings who believe in kindness and do things to help others.

The True Meaning of Life | By Patricia A. Fleming

The years have passed by In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness And joy have flown by. People I loved Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped And we all carried on. Life wasn’t easy And the struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn’t care. I stood on my own And still found my way Through some nights filled with tears And the dawn of new days. And now with old age It’s become very clear That what I once found important Was not why I was here. And the many things That I managed to buy Were never what made me Feel better inside. And the worries and fears That plagued me each day, I knew in the end Would just fade away. But how much I reached out To others when needed Would be the true measure Of how I succeeded. And how much I shared Of my soul and my heart Would ultimately be What set me apart. And now what’s important Is my opinion of me And whether or not I’m the best I can be. And how much more kindness And love I can show Before life...

Believing in Kindess | By Guy Farmer

Over many years of designing and facilitating workshops and coaching people to treat themselves and each other well, I've encountered a lot of individuals who don't believe in kindness, a perspective usually stemming from their own experiences growing up. When you're raised in a household where all you're taught is that the world is harsh and you better toughen up or, worse yet, you're belittled, humiliated, or abused in some way, you tend to come out of that environment with all kinds of negative and even irrational views.

It can be a difficult process, often requiring therapy, but people have an amazing capacity to heal. Even the angriest, most hurt person can move in the direction of gentleness and happiness.

What I Believe about Kindness | By February Grace

Every day, we open our eyes and often the first sound we hear is a report of something sad, or heartbreaking. The world we live in is far less kind than many of us would have it, though there is a subtle movement gaining speed, and I want so very much to be a part of it. That movement is toward kindness, away from sarcasm, coldness, or so-called "snark". There was a time when “snark”, or as I prefer to call it, “meanness”, crept into my being in ways I didn’t even realize. It was before my diagnosis with Bipolar disorder, before I went blind and then was fortunate enough to regain some use of my vision through six trying surgeries. It was before a lot of things. Before my grandmother’s death. Before my father's cancer. When I was younger, in more of a hurry to do everything quickly, and sometimes mistook snarkiness for wit or intelligence. Snark has been portrayed for years as the hip or cool way to be, and for a time I guess I fell into the trap of believing it. In the y...
