Yay more kindness. 💕
Why be kind? Why not be kind lol. :P
I feel the "why" for being kind can be summed in this simple quote, we never know what battle(s) someone's fighting, or what they have to go home to, or even if they have a "home".
Sometimes our little act of kindness might be their *everything* they needed at the time, someone to care enough, someone not not-awful to them, someone that instilled hope for them, someone that reminded them that it will be okay and they aren't alone. ❤

Why do you think it’s important to be kind?
There’s already so much pain and hardship in this world even without people hurting each other. Natural disasters, lack of resources, self-esteem struggles…no matter how big or small, these troubles can add up and weigh heavily on an individual. Kindness gives hope and takes away pain. Even if it only makes a fraction of a difference, that fraction exists and can impact someone more than others would expect. It’s unnecessary to be cruel to people; in fact, it can be unfathomable as to why some people are so cruel if you stop and think about it enough. But kindness? Kindness is a miracle we can grant everyday, anytime.
