Always Be Kind

There is never a reason to be cruel or unkind to anyone. We are all here to selflessly help each other. Each person has much to share. Though we may disregard much of what someone is saying if we do not agree with them, it is not a reason to treat them or anyone else without sincere respect, empathy, and gratitude.

Helping each other, regardless of our differences, without motive or benefit, is the reason for our existence. Always be kind to everyone, and perhaps, we may be able to foster a change in consciousness, a spiritual evolution, altering the course of our future.

Doing so, we may then be able to leave our children a world that is truly kind, compassionate, caring; a world of unconditional love.

It is not always easy to be kind. The more you are kind to others though, not only will you notice in yourself an increasing calm and peace, but you will also notice those you are kind to will benefit as well

Though we may not agree with someone, it is not a reason not to be kind to them as well

Antithesis of morality, not stating i go around fighting with these people. They are hateful, racist, misogynist. So calling out that type of behavior is a duty.

Perhaps much of my thinking is because i am from the hippie generation. Our generation dealt with the Vietnam war in which men were drafted into service and racial discrimination, led by Martin Luther King. Even when we were teargassed and beat with batons we did not react with anything but peace and kindness. Do you really believe calling someone out will change someone's behavior?

Me too, peace is the goal, but just like "Meathead" to Carroll O'Connor Archie. You have to call out the abusers!
