Something About Kindness
Being mean to a total stranger online is not acceptable. There are a lot of people who are highly sensitive and wouldn’t harm anyone themselves. So many people are ridiculed for appearance and other attributes that it isn’t fair. Why do people have to do mean things? I don’t know but they need to get right and learn how to treat others with kindness and respect. People have some sort of license online to be mean because of the cloak of anonymity it affords. It hurts even more when it’s people have no reasons to say the things they say. Words wound, they go deep. Life is too short not to love one another.
Quote Of The Day
Do not forget to be kind to strangers and let them stay in your home. Some people have had angels in their homes without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2 (NLV)
Why Is It…?
Why is it that mean people are so loud and they seem to drown out the good and the nice? It is very troubling that this seems to be the case these days. People have it in them to be genuine and kind but they also seem to revert to being mean and vicious. Really how hard is it to be good? Really!?!
A Compliment
Compliments are great when you can get them. They are even better to give. However it seems that folks aren’t used to getting them these days. We hear and experience such negativity that we need reminding of how special we are. It could be how we look on any given day or perhaps you have done something great for someone. Either way getting acknowledgment for it is fantastic. Lifting the spirits of those around you can be a great way to build people up. Lord knows we get enough tearing down.
The Old Guy, The Younger Follower, How Does This Work?
I am a middle-aged dork and it always amazes me when I get younger followers. Many of them are like half my age. I am not all that cool y’all. Sometimes my efforts to be relevant come across as being silly or head shaking. Maybe people like genuine people no matter what time of life they are in.
Thanks for your interest and friendship anyway.
