I love you, whoever this message finds.

I love you.

I don’t know your name, who you are, or what you’ve been through, but I do know that I love you.

From the little I do know, though, I can tell you this:

You are human, just like me. We breathe the same air, we feel the same joy, and we bleed the same colour. We are both beings beneath the sun.

I know you are human, and humans have something that makes us special, something that makes you special.

It’s your ability to connect.

You possess the ability to connect to anything you wish. You can feel the sorrows of a fictional character who’s nothing more than a collection of thoughts. You can feel the bonds between the people in your life. You can feel the strength of the interests you love.

That alone makes you special.
You’re a creature designed for a purpose greater than either of us can understand.

To be human is to be more than just yourself, and you’ve succeeded. You’ve lived life in unison with all the elements that surround you, consciously or not.
You are a being of love.

And for that reason,

I love you.

A random act of kindness can truly brighten someone's day! Not because of who they are, but because of who you are.

What started as feeding people in need turned into something much bigger

Back in February, I started doing community meal days here in Richmond, Indiana, simply because I wanted to help feed people who needed it. I never imagined it would grow into what it has become today. Since then, I’ve put on over 15 community meal days, serving everything from ribs, pulled pork, brisket, tacos and nachos to loaded hot dogs, loaded spuds, and more. Along the way, my Facebook page has grown to over 2,300 followers, and what started as one simple idea has become something I’m incredibly proud of. I’m not with big organization or a major charity. I’m just someone who wanted to make a difference in my community, one meal at a time. There have been challenges along the way, but I’ve kept going because I believe people deserve a hot meal and a little kindness. I’m sharing this because sometimes the smallest ideas can grow into something meaningful. You never know how far one act of kindness can go.

If you believe in people helping people, I hope this story reminds you that you don’t need to be rich, famous, or part of a big organization to make a difference.

This Random Act of Kindness will stay with me forever..

Clegg Brothers. Many years ago a neighbor had a heart attack while driving up his driveway. He hit and damaged his garage door. Clegg Brothers was our garage door company (I no longer own a home with a garage door, thus the past tense). I called them, explained the situation and they came and secured the door. No charge. Amazing company, can’t say enough nice things about them. That Random Act of Kindness will stay with me for always. Many years later I saw an employee of theirs at a gas station. I told him the story I just related and he said that he was one of the technicians that came to that job. It came full circle for me.

How we behave here, matters.

68 Upvotes

One thing I’ve noticed about Reddit is the kind and thoughtful people on here. And once in an awhile, someone is so rude, so judgmental and just wants to fight and use their unkind words to disempower others. I’ve made it a priority to thank them for learning more about kindness! Through their unkind words, they teach me the value of caring, of being uplifting, and of forgiveness and appreciation. It’s how I’m reframing cruelty. I’m still finding the places within myself to forgive and to love. Being kind matters and it reverberates in the world. Its ripple effect is huge. Thats the world I’m creating, even though im cognizant of other humans who do not act from their heart/values and do not choose kindness. I will not stand for cruelty, I do not let it get me down. I continue to rise above and do what I can to make LOVE my mission! Sending love and good energy to the readers out there.

hoy me paso algo muy simple, pero me recordó que todavía hay mucha gente buena

mientras esperaba para cruzar la calle, una señora mayor dejo caer su dinero sin darse cuenta. antes de que pudiera reaccionar, varias personas se acercaron al mismo tiempo para poder ayudarla, nadie se conocía, nadie esperaba nada a cambio, cuando termino de guardar nos sonrío y dijo : "ojala nunca perdamos estos pequeños gestos"

seguí con mi día pensando en eso. aveces las noticias hacen parecer que todo está mal, pero momentos como este me recuerdan que la amabilidad sigue existiendo en los lugares más cotidianos.

¿cual fue el último acto de bondad que presenciaste o qué alguien tuvo con vos ?

How "emotional softness" affects those around me

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hello all you wonderful living beings,

I often default to a state of emotional softness when dealing with people. Easing the anxiety and internal pain of others by extending a gentle healing hand always seems like the right thing to do if you're me.

Interacting with another person in this state causes them to slowly mirror those feelings, stubbornness, anger, frustration tends to simmer down, like a boiling pot that has been removed from the gas burner.

Often times, they just want to see that other people are considerate of them and mindful. This is where emotional softness almost seems like magic. You can see their conscious awareness expand in real time as the realization hits. "This is what being alive could be, this is how communities and people can really be like". This way of interacting with people often causes their illusions about life to break... For their whole lives, these folks believed that their human consciousness is limited to the state they currently find themselves in. They believed that humans are fundamentally broken like it says in the bible. I am here to tell you, that kind of thinking is wrong and it's designed to prevent you from evolving your conscious awareness.

I am here to show folks they can do and be so much more. If you see yourself as broken and never learn to fix the parts that bother you, you will naturally operate on a lower level of conscious awareness. My softness and the ability for me to harness it so easily comes down to my healing journey, fixing or integrating parts of myself that kept me on a higher level of conscious awareness.

Do you think kindness takes you out of yourself?

18 Upvotes

It’s easy to be so self focused and even selfish. But kindness helps you think outside yourself, see the bigger picture. I’ve been really down lately but found this sub. Just thinking of being kind and helping others already makes me feel tapped into something bigger.

Maybe that is what God is - the wholeness of things we can feel when we transcend our own self concerns. As I get older and realise how fleeting life is, the more I feel the only thing that matters is kindness. A life of being a good, helpful, kind person is a life well lived. All our achievements perish and will disappear. So why not be a good person to others?

Say what you think out loud

22 Upvotes

Everybody has a moment where they think woah that person looks so cool or pretty or maybe even unique. Okay so I hate to be one of those be happy all the time type of people. But I want to just say that spreading kindness when you don't feel like being kind to yourself is good practice for thinking more positively and more intentionally.

There are two situations that happened in last month that I keep going over in my head multiple times.

The first is when I complemented this random woman's outfit, and she stopped me, and she was gushing about how it was so kind of me to say something, because most people, even when they think something kind about another person they never say it out loud. And having the courage to say something can literally change another person's day and making that decision to just say something about her outfit literally changed my entire perspective on how people perceive different interactions throughout their day to day life. For me, it was just a thing of me saying you have a nice outfit, but for her it is someone who has noticed that she is put effort into her outfit today and that her being intentional and the things she chose got noticed.

The second situation is when I attended this job fair and I went to the bathroom, and as I walked out, I saw this woman with the healthiest looking brown here I'd ever seen, and I told her that I said your hair looks amazing and she turns around and she goes, "no, it doesn't" and I am confused on why she doesn't want to take it to compliment, until she says that she actually has cancer and her hair is falling out and it's thinning", and I told her, "like, I don't notice any of that it looks amazing and you look beautiful" and I went away from that conversation thinking that in order for her to say that so quickly and so abruptly and so easily is that she is constantly looking in mirror and thinking my hair is falling out, people notice. And for me to say, hey, your hair looks amazing. Maybe now she'll go back home and she'll think, wow, my hair really does look amazing.

And I just think practising seeing positive things out loud about other people instead of just keeping it in your head and allowing it to just pass by like nothing allows you to be really intentional in the way that you interact with other people, and the way that you even interact with yourself. Positive thoughts are not just passing through at that point, they become something that is prominent.

(I used text to voice for this because i had alot to say and my fingers type too slow to say it)

Being kind when nobody is watching

102 Upvotes

I think one of the most genuine forms of kindness is helping someone without expecting recognition or anything in return. It could be cleaning up a shared space, helping a neighbor, or quietly making things easier for someone having a rough day. Not every good deed needs to be announced or rewarded. Sometimes it's enough to know that you made a small difference in somebody else's day.

Sigh. What do I do. Tired of myself

Sigh

Yall can hate or ban me or anything I don't care atp. I'm down with depression, and severe depression for that matter. The only thing I enjoy is Fortnite, I recently started playing it and ever since the new skins dropped, fortnites stopped being enjoyable because of the fucking inferiority complex and feeling bad for not being able to buy the skins.

I would hate to use my illness for something like this as it sounds like an insanely crappy thing to do, but idk what to do anymore,

If someone has a Fortnite founders code/account that's unused and if you're willing to gift, you might just give someone a reason to live for a little longer. Have a great day
