Creating a society full of kindness

Date: 12-02-2019 to TBD     Type: Online

Kindness is a feeling of mercy from the heart. It is borne out of a spirit of selflessness and togetherness. A kind man would help you when you need him and when you don't. He doesn't expect anything in return for his generosity. 
Kindness doesn't necessarily have to be monetary or material, it could be as simple as a smile to the unfortunate or picking up a lame man's bag. People in the world are of diverse socio-economic class, fingers are not equal and no one is to blame. We don't get to choose where we are born, or into which family. Kindness knows no walls, no colour, no tongue.
Observe the smile on the face of a less privileged boy when you share your sandwich with him, the joy on the old woman's face when you help her cross the street, or the calmness of a cat or dog when you brush their hair or stroke them gently.
Kindness is a virus that can spread very fast, it's quite infectious. We need to be kind to ourselves, other people, animals and the environment we live in. A clean community is kind to it's environment, an accountable government is kind to it's people. A kind boss is more loved than a stern one. Kindness breeds love, it grows connections and tolerance. The world would be a better place with a kind you and me.
