How do you express love to those around you?

Do you save it just for family or do you spread love to mankind. If not, why not? What have you got to lose to share compassion with fellow man? I express love to everyone. Sure, I have my eat crap and die days but not too often. I show love by engaging people in conversation, smiling, looking in their eyes and making them feel like they mean something. Like they have something to contribute to the human race. If someone needs something, and I have it, they are more than welcome to it. People are great. All walks of life, every one of us has something special and if we all just paid a little of that forward... Boy what a great world that would be. And who knows, crimes and problems might diminish if someone just took the time to reach potential criminals when they are young enough to steer clear of that life.

I express my feeling in discreet ways. I'll do something for someone to let them know that I care. I'm not really a touchy-feely type of person and I try to stay away from hugs and stuff. Looking someone in the eyes is probably the best way to let someone know you are listening and that you care for them. I try to stay positive about the world becoming a better place one day. It's hard to think about a world that will remain dark until it's over and done with.

I know what you mean about keeping the hope that the world will be better one day. And it will, but in all things, it has to get worse before it will get better. The time will come, until then, anyone that can do good, should, just to show there is some hope for good things to come. When no one shows the love, then all hope is lost. We as people cannot allow that.

I am very shy so it is hard for me to hug people other then my family. But I am very compassionate and when I had the money and ability I would help others out when ever I could. I can not tell you how often I gave to someone who needed it. I offered people rides. I bought them groceries. I prayed for them. AND! I taught them about the lord.

I share my blessings by helping what I can to people. Hearing their problems and try to help by giving advice. I motivate them that there is still hope cause of the hardship in life that everything is going up. I'm to friendly that sometimes people abussed me of my kindness still I do understand them more. Anyway have a nice day! God Bless! God will always make away!

This is always a good way to be. Nothing else can beat human kindness.
