Be kind

[WeeGord]

If there is one thing life has taught me it's that in my 46 years, we've never travelled the same road as others. We're judgmental and opinionated yet rarely understand the personal pain others have felt and experienced.

In a world where the pain and journey of others is often overlooked and ignored because of our own pain, we need to look out for others.

I don't care for the race, the gender, the age of others. I care for our humanity, our shared experiences, our pleasures and joys and our hurt and the things that sear.

We're almost all the products of our environment and the things, the experiences we endure.

It's rarely clear what those are and our natural instinct is to shield, to protect ourselves.

All I ask is that in this season of goodwill is that we don't judge and we open our hearts and minds to the unseen struggles of others.

To be clear, this song is one about moving on from supporting a friend with an addiction. It might be drugs or alcohol or something else. It's not an easy choice but it's recognising that we can't support those who don't recognise there's a problem.

I'm lucky. I'm not addicted to drugs, or alcohol, or gambling. I'm only addicted to one thing and it's of memories of times passed with those who are no longer here. That's my addiction and I fight it daily, I try to overcome it.

I struggle though and that's why I ask we're all kind to the unseen struggles of others x

Kindness is vastly underrated. More of this please, we all struggle with something.

Wise words of encouragement WG.

"There's a guy who said one time -
He said -

You never stood in that man's shoes
Or saw things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands
While the heart inside you dies
So help your brother along the way
No matter where he starts
For the same God that made you made him too
These men with broken hearts"

Twelfth Doctor :
Hey! I'm going to be dead in a few hours, so before I go, let's have this out, you and me, once and for all. Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it. And I will stand here doing it till it kills me. You're going to die too, some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand, is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?
