I was watching a rerun of Ali Mcgraw on Super Soul this morning and remembered what she said about kindness.How its used so small and yet it is probably one of the biggest words ever.
My wife and I have actually been faulted for being too kind........is that possible?
I had an experience recently where I helped out a very sad young woman who needed money and food and so I helped with what I could.Her tears actually fell on the cement floor.
Within a few days she started to rage about eveything and everybody she was working with and it reminded me of me and my growing up.
Do I regret the kindness to her?.....No,of course not......but there are plenty that have told me I was a fool to help her.
Everyone has a history and crap in their cupboards to clear out.When I was kind to her I saw the effect so clearly......and the important thing is I know she will remember.
Growing takes time......we cant expect that because we practice kindness it will open up everything......but it cant hurt anything to start with kindness and go from there.
