Have you been Kind Today?
http://play.simpletruths.com/movie/the-power-of-kindness/
"The kindness factor seems to be sadly outmoded in this urban age of muggings and grabbing.
Can anything be done to improve the situation?
Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Was anyone kind to you? How did it feel?
So make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.
The best portion of a good man’s life is his little,
nameless, unremembered act of kindness and of love.
Kindness comes in all sorts of shapes and forms,
but to be the true value it should be selfless and without conditions,
unreserved, but intelligent.
To be compassionate, knowledgeable and kind is to be truly wise.
True kindness has to be totally free from any self-concern or self referencing.
Kindness is giving and there is nothing in it for the giver, except the joy of giving itself.

There is nothing meek or mild about kindness.
Its real power lies in responding to its relentless demand to give and hold nothing back.
“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.” Albert Schweizer
Kindness softens the armor of man. It soothes the heart and creates a place of comfort and safety.
Acts of kindness can change our state of mind from fear - based anger and aggression to a feeling of acceptance, tranquility and peace.
We humans have the capacity to change the world with acts of love and kindness.
Let’s start by teaching our children the importance of compassion.
Youth are the inheritors of this planet and all its potential.
The act of exposing our little ones to higher teachings of loving kindness
will give them the correct tolls to construct a more tolerant and peaceful world."
Anita Roddick
