Election, kind, wikipedia

I'm certainly no expert, as anyone who has spent more than 20 minutes with me can attest, but I do know that it is the single most important thing in our world today.

Especially in the week ahead, with the Presidential election happening, I am encouraging kindness to all. Don't tell me why someone is awful, tell me why you love someone.

 

Kindness

 

Wikipedia describes it as:

behavior marked by ethical characteristics, a pleasant disposition, and concern for others.

 

Sounds about right to me.

Please remind me when you see me.

How have you been kind today?

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. - Mark Twain

My father taught that when I encountered a difficult person I should "Kill them with kindness".

I have a follow-up to this already written for Monday. So happy to be of the same mind as you.

I often cite a NY Times Magazine interview almost a generation ago. At the time she was considered a possible candidate for President and a trailblazer as a woman seeking the position. "Never frown at your enemies. Smile -- it scares the hell out of them."
- Lee Scott to his daughter, Representative Patricia Schroeder, as reported in the New York Times Magazine.
