Kindness is like snow — it beautifies everything it covers.
- Kahlil Gibran
For the past year (more like decades), hate against people of color has grown. Some want to believe racism doesn’t exist anymore, but it never went away. We live in a world where the color of someone’s color is more important than showing some kindness.
Diseases and things don’t discriminate, people do. Covid has taught me that life is too short to hold grudges. People waste more time hating a person or wanting to rush through life, when we should stop; take a breather; enjoy the things around us. If we stop and take a moment to help someone in need, we’ll see the true beauty of the world.
Similar to snow, kindness purifies the soul; giving a fresh start in life. It has the power to bridge divides and heal. Small acts of kindness will go a long way. Remember everyone is going through something. Hold a door; say hi; say please and thank you. An act of kindness can change someone’s life.
