“Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” Seneca, Roman Philosopher
At a Wayne Dyer lecture, Dr. Dyer most graciously shared his thoughts on kindness. Paraphrasing, he notes when a situation comes up and you have a choice to be right or a choice to be kind – choose kindness. Can you imagine how different the world would be? Starting with the basic family unit – what if we choose to be kind to one another at all times as oppose to trying to be “right” fighting to prove a point or prove the other person wrong? That expanded out to our school and work communities – can you imagine how people’s lives would be less stressful. Is this world possible? Yes, this world is possible and it does exist from people who do not operate from an ego domain. We see glimpses of this world every day. We see it in the simple thank you and acknowledgement from our supervisors and coworkers, we see it in the understanding and forgiveness from our loved ones, we see it when kindness is shown to a total stranger in need and we see it when people come together for support in face of great tragedy. We know this world exist but too often it is overshadowed with negativity created by the people who need to be “right”, the people who may unknowingly operate from their relentless controlling egos. Even in the face of these ego domain people, stay steadfast in your approach of kindness. Kindness and love are in our intrinsic nature and that is why we are so easily in harmony when we manifest it. Even if we try to react negatively or harshly in response to another person’s negativity – that only perpetuates more harm and negativity to yourself because you are disconnected, even temporarily, from your own innate source of love and kindness. Only light can cancel darkness and only love can cancel fear. Remain connected, centered and true to your light and say a silent blessing for those that need to find their way back to their own light.
