‘Kindness Makes The World Go Round’
I was just thinking of this phrase, and googled it. The first result that popped up was a great piece by writer Michael Winn from this past fall. His last paragraph reads:
‘Practicing habitual kindness – kindness for the sake of kindness, without any expectation of thanks or repayment – is the greatest gift we can offer others, and ourselves. It will never hurt you in any way to be kind, in fact, it actually makes us feel pretty good when we give it. It’s free and can transcend any age, language or social ‘barrier’. It may not always feel like it’s changing the world, yet one day, without even knowing it, your acts of kindness might just save a life – and without knowing it, you may just change someone’s world too.’
Our present worldwide situation is unsettling, but the kindness shown by the incredible heroes on our front lines is beyond beautiful. The infinite stories of the generosity of businesses big and small, and helping hands of kindhearted souls throughout the world are truly inspiring, bringing much needed brightness to this dark time.
