Unity And Peace

Promote It

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 4 days ago • 1 min read
Kindness costs nothing but our time and love

“The kindness you give today

may become the hope

someone carries tomorrow.”

None of us know what the other is going through,

which is why we should always

be kind to each other.

The world we live in

is ‘characterized’ by the struggles and challenges

we face every day,

but the power of kindness

is a beacon of hope.

Being kind to a complete stranger

can lift his or her spirit,

possibly during a dark time in their lives.

Even Martin Luther King Jr. appreciated

the ‘reality’ of kindness when he said:

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness;

only light can do that.”

This reminds us

that kindness eclipses hate and despair,

fostering unity and peace.

Cultivating kindness as an individual

means cultivating kindness as a society.

Let’s embrace the power of kindness

as it inspires peace.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
