Among Friends

[Carolina925]

Good morning, posters. After so much drama on the forums this week and the horrible killing in Winder, GA, I'm thinking about kindness more than ever this morning. Sure feels like we need to change our ways.

Sadly, too many people prefer to be snide, snarky, unkind, and unempathetic. This is rampant in our country and common among so many people in leadership. It's not ok.

A good reminder @Carolina925 , that we all carry burdens within our hearts and souls. Thank you.

Are you reducing the  school massacre in GA to unkindness?   Many things contributed to that but a lack of kindness was not one of them.

Kindness is given without an expectation or return.

I call kindness fruit. When kindness is shared fruit develops.

It can be a smile, or comfort and the hope that care in our society exists.

Kindness is rich without a dollar sign. 

Kindness can be catagiois.

Kindness can fill hearts when least expected.

When in doubt, be kind.

I have to agree that Winder GA and unkindness do not equate.

It's a travesty beyond comprehension on so many levels. 

The background of the family, it is a reality check. 

The fact that at the age from 13 to 14 a child took on the role of a

Lone Wolf and surely his story was not evaluated in one moment of evil.

Layers upon layers in just 14 years of life.

Today yet another school, Maryland and not escalated and contained.

This culture is not about unkindness for to say that undercuts the severity 

if what is really the danger present in our country.

@chrystaltree  no, I wasn't, just the fact that it was so sad.
