Kindness.

I agree with you. A moment of anger cannot be taken back, it can show our ugliest side and cause us grief. A deed of kindness is always like a light in the dark. It sparks hope and gives us courage. A kind person is always loved and one will always be remembered by those with whom this kindness was shown. This made me remember a certain situation where my son had been very sad when he was only 2 years old. I was very angry and frustrated at something that he could not accomplish that I lose my temper. He cried because of that. After a while he told me, "Mom, I won't remember that anymore so that I won't be sad again. I will only remember the good things between us that would make me happy." I was really very touched knowing he is only 2 years old. Until now he is still is very kind and I thank God he gave me such a wonderful kid.

this is a very good advice for all of us. there are times when we just can't let go of the pain we had before. but if we just write them down in the sand, it will surely one day be washed away to the sea. ofcourse, kindness should always be marked in marbles. it's one thing that's too difficult to find in this world and is worth keeping.

If we would apply kindness in every situation in life, I think the world would be a better place.

Hi Pose123! That is a wonderful proverb. I do agree with its philosophy of remembering kindness, instilling it in our life to achieve a happier and healthier way of living and letting the injuries/pain to be forgotten and washed away from our life completely. But somehow I know that even without the pain, the scar makes me remember how it used to be. However, I don't let myself dwell in the feeling but I make myself remember of the affect of the mistakes I have made or was done to me so that I can learn from it and avoid it happening to me again somehow. I guess, that is how I am and I am not sure if it is truly right for me to do so. All I know that it is somehow helping me to stand up again and have a smile in my heart for myself and for everyone. Take care always..God Bless!

What a great proverb! I agree that being Kind can simply just mean being there. I have many friends who like to confide in me. I know why they do. What they need are not advices, what they need is just a Listening Ear. I usually just keep quiet and give them my fullest attention. I've learned that when people confide in another person, they are not seeking for advice, they are only seeking for a channel to release their sadness or frustration.

What a world it would be if people were actually able to do this. Unfortunately it is easier to rememeber the hurts and pains. They sting us like a bee and the burn lasts a life time. But the good stuff, the stuff we SHOULD be focusing our energies on, seems to whither and fade out like the flaame of a candle. It really doesn't take much to spread a little kindness around either. Sometimes a quick hello that takes less than a second is enough to brighten someone's day. My mom worked as a flagger(the people who stand at construction zones with the sign). Anyway, she would smile and wave at the people who drove by, and she could tell the difference in them each day she was there. By the end of the work, she had people stopping to ask if she needed a coffee in the morning, or a soda or freezie in the afternoon. She even had a lady bring her an icecream drink. All because she chose to smile instead of frown. SO now, evey time I pass a construction zone I think of her and smile and ave at the guys who look so bored and tired holding those signs. It really surprises them, but it makes me feel good to know I am passing on a little piece of that kindness.....and it doesn't cost me a thing!!!
