The world needs a little more kindness

Imagine being famous for just one day,what would you want the world to remember you for? A bold invention, a selfless act, a powerful message? What would you do with your moment in the spotlight and why it matters to you. Let your dream legacy speak loud and clear.

Being famous or being at the spotlight is what mostly everyone seeks, maybe or maybe not. While I know some people seek easy going lives and may not want to be in the spotlight, most people want to be. Recently, I was having a chat with someone whom I considered a spotlight figure because of her beauty but she pointed out to me that she doesn’t want to be at the spotlight that left for her she wants to live a low key life and never be at the limelight. That seemed rather strange to me as there are some people you see and you just know that they are meant for the spotlight but alas, we all are different.

Well, back to what we are discussing, I had always admired people at the spotlight and somehow something within me always tell me that bae, you can do this whenever I see successful people at the spotlight. Well, if for any reason I am going to be at the very spotlight even if it’s just for one day, I’d love to be remembered for a legacy of kindness. Hmmm kindness? Yep.

Well, the world we already know is a difficult place to be and we all have our challenges and down moments. Life can be very hard at times and people are really passing through a lot. I belong to some platforms that deal with peoples real life experiences and the kind of stories I hear people pass through is so touching and some of them bring tears to my face.

Imagine the kind of pain someone who has been barren for twenty two years is passing through. Or someone who had been barren for ten, twelve and all number of years are going through. Have you thought of the pains, trauma, and heart breaking mockery these folks go through? How about how we deal with the cases of people who are battling with late marriage? The kind of pressure they face or pass through and all kinds of treatment they pass through in the hands of so called loved ones and friends.

The thing that baffles me with all of this is how unkind some people can be. How do you see someone who is suffering and in so much pain and yet only adds to their pain by mockery and saying all manner of hurtful words to them. I read a comment online from a lady who is fifty years old and not married. She said on her fiftieth birthday, her mum called her and told her to settle in marriage even if it’s with the wrong man.

How bad can people get with being unkind and insensitive to people’s situation. Kindness is rare in our society and if I’d stand before the world today even for a day, I’d tell people to learn to be kind with their words and with how they treat others. People are already going through a lot in their day to day experience. Don’t be the reason why someone else cries again. Don’t be the reason why somebody who is already in pain sheds more midnight tears and wet their pillows.

A little kindness as little as it is, can go along way to make so much difference in people’s lives. Be kind!
