Spread Kindness Instead of Division

Kindness goes a long way in life. And it is free. Costs nothing. Name calling divides the world. So why do it? Why be a part of what is dividing everyone. Life is short. We should all try to be more kind. Try to pull together, not apart. Never judge what you don't understand. I have heard that my entire life. And those words are so true. So much fake news floating around. Another one I live by is... If you can't say something nice, don't say anything.

@CarolDM That's right, what you sow is what you reap.

I tend to hold my tongue a lot, when talking online or to people, because I believe kindness goes a long way. Sometimes though, I have to say what's on my mind, even if it is hurtful, because withholding the truth doesn't help anyone either. So I'm kind in general, but when push comes to shove I won't hold back either.

I sometimes say things I look back and think I probably should not have said, but I try to just move on.

Unfortunately it just seems to be human nature for some people but at least some of us aren't wired that way.

I totally agree, they do it without thinking. But they should stop and think more often.

@caroldm “You say it best when you say nothing at all” - amen to that. “ Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other …..” So says the New Testament.

That is a line from a country song. My grandmother always quoted that last one. Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, kindness is related to love, I would say. Kindness is the perfume that the flower that is love gives out to others, and delights them with the smell. A bad smell is like unkindness, that just brings pain and suffering to all.

@CarolDM Yes, all we need do, is to decide to be just a little bit kinder to all around us.

I know and people who are constantly posting political content on FB when they know half the people they care about disagree with them I don't understand. By hammering your point over and over again, is not going to change anyone's mind. Many other things to talk about other than that nice things, good things or just anything really but that mess.

Yes, we need to remind ourselves of the basics all the time. I have treated others better than I like to be treated and then life is sublime.
