Treat every person
with kindness and respect,
even those who are rude to you.
Remember that you show compassion
to others not because of who they are
but because of who you are.
~Author: Andrew T. Somers
Spread love everywhere you go.
Let no one ever come to you
without leaving happier.
~Mother Teresa
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. ~Helen Keller
At its most basic, kindness is about caring genuinely for others around you, wanting the best for them, and recognizing in them the same wants, needs, aspirations, and even fears that you have too. Kindness is warm, resilient, patient, trusting, loyal, and grateful. Piero Ferrucci sees kindness as being about “making less effort” because it frees us from getting knotted up in negative attitudes and feelings such as resentment, jealousy, suspicion, and manipulation. Ultimately, kindness is deep caring for all beings.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

Cardamom rainforest in Cambodia
As I walk across the earth,
thousands of things I get to see.
Birds fly high, soaring higher,
and on the flowers I hear the buzz of bees.
The sun at the dawn, rises within the hills.
Mountains covered with snow,
shining like the crown of silver.
And the waves touching the cliffs.
The waterfall flowing down
the green-blue mountains.
Rivers forming a dream delta
before entering the sea.
And while walking on the beach at night,
I feel the cool and sweet smelling breeze.
The slashing sound still feels like
the sound of love and peace.
The moon over the sea,
shining like a ball of gold.
And in every step my eyes hold wonder.
I bend on my knee
to thank the mother earth,
And is the truth.
it’s a great pleasure for me,
to live in this wonderland.

Love is two souls intertwined in such a way you can’t find their meeting place nor can you tear it apart it is one embodiment of pure pleasure & pain, joy & sorrow. ~sms4smile
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. ~Albert Schweitzer
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. ~Barbara de Angelis
I don’t live to eat, I only eat to live…
I did not become a vegetarian
for my health, I did it for
the health of the chickens.
~Isaac Bashevis Singer
Mean girls,
They would only make you cry
Mean girls,
They would only take away your smile
Oh mean girls,
They’ll only make you feel different
You know you’re you
That’s enough for you to be content.
Oh girl,
Don’t take their words to heart
You know who you are
And that, alone, is enough
Mean girls,
What did I ever do to you?
Who do you think you are?
Someday it might be you but when you turn around,
Your so called “friends” won’t have your back.
How can you make me feel so insecure?
No, you, yourself, have never been you.
How can you ever believe that they think like that too?
Those mean girls,
Don’t let them run your world
Those mean girls
Will only make you treat your friends as strangers.
They’ll make you feel like they’re perfect and you’re nothing
Don’t let it get to you now
Because you can be everything
How would they feel if those mean girls were in my place?
Would they put up a smile on their faces?
Will they get hurt and feel my pain?
Will they get laughed at and be ashamed?
Oh mean girls, what would they feel?
They’re making me turn my backs against my friends
And be one of them
But no, I’m staying with my friends
I’m staying as me
I won’t change.
