Why do you think we need to be kind to others?

Because

You get angry when a waiter spills water or food.Maybe they just received bad news this morning,or they cried their eyes out last night,and their hands are trembling as they try to keep their life from completely falling apart

Don't judge someone as «stuck-up» or «boring» just because they're quiet.Maybe they're struggling with social anxiety right now,and just showing up today is already an extraordinary effort on their part

Don't get upset when you see someone overly happy about a small achievement or overly anxious about a tiny mistake.Maybe in the past,they lived in an environment where every effort was ignored and every mistake was punished

Before you judge someone for looking tired and lifeless,they may have just finished a long night shift to prepare dinner for their family,or spent the entire night caring for a sick loved one

Don't be quick to laugh at those who constantly apologize.They may have grown up in a home where every failure was their fault.That apology is actually a self-defense mechanism,a way to seek safety

Before you call someone «fake» for always smiling and talking despite adversity,know that it's their only way to avoid falling apart.They choose positivity as a lifeline to protect those around them from worry

Do you see them wearing outdated clothes or worn-out shoes?Perhaps it's the last gift from someone important.Or maybe it's something that brings them confidence and good luck whenever they wear it.

Don't mock someone for always showing off their petty achievements.Perhaps they spent their entire childhood facing denial from those they needed,and now they're just trying to convince themselves that «I've value to»

Every person you meet is fighting a battle you're unaware of.Sometimes,your kindness is the reason they decide not to give up tomorrow
