Kindness: The Reality Of Our Lives.

_{Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.}

The world was turning in her eyes as she stared at her parents' killer. Memories of that night filled her gut like a bitter lemon, and she spat.

With eyes blurry, she held onto her chest and screamed. The world could hear her voice, and as if on cue, it sent platters of rain her way as more memories struck her with each platter.

The world had mocked her. Reminding her of what needs to be done to the killer. Her heart was stone cold with no ounce of love in her soul as she moved with one thought in mind.

"Kill!!!"

The chant grew more and more , and each step taken forward, she lost the sense of humanity left in her. Raising her hands up towards the killer, she met with a face that made her shiver.

"Ma?" She called out. "Is that you?" She asked with some sort of hope in her heart.

"My sweet pumpkin." Her mother replied, and the little girl ran to hug her mother while crying profusely.

"You need to fight off the hate in your heart and fill it with love. Show kindness to those who hurt you. You have to teach them pumpkin because they do not know what kindness means. Teach them pumpkin, for their heart is filled with pain. You have to teach them because they are blind and deaf to the world of kindness." Her mother spoke.

"But... he hurt you and Dad. I need to kill people like him so they won't hurt another person." The little girl replied to her mom.

"And what happens after that, my darling? Will it bring us back? Would it stop the pain in your heart? If you do that pumpkin, you'll be left with no purpose. We need you to live life to the fullest." Her mother spoke again, and then she was gone.

Thoughts...it never seems to end because even when asleep, it comes in dreams. And, when your thoughts are used to care for not just yourself but others, it becomes more beautiful.

The world right now isn't the way it was ages ago. There were times I was sure entering a stranger's car who wanted to give you a ride meant that you'd get to your destination safely. And it doesn't mean there's no evil in the world then. There was, but evil was afraid. But in our world, evil lies everywhere. Chanting its language like a country's anthem, and we can all see it.

It is hard to check recent news in my country without seeing things that would make you shudder completely. Life is cruel. Giving help has now become a way to exploit people. While some who have rendered help to others run insane, others are nowhere to be found and the need for kindness... lost in a dark abyss ocean.

And, it hurts badly.

Kindness is care. Kindness is love. Kindness is reality. It is the ability to give to others even when you have little to eat. Giving water to people instead of closing off the stream. Kindness is looking out for your neighbor even when they hurt you.

It is an act(ion), not just a word or thought. It makes you a good leader and a real human. The type that shares her last meal with strangers like the woman in the Bible. Kindness is goodwill and cleanliness, which is next to godliness. Kindness is our creator, for He forgives our sin and provides for us even when we don't believe.

Kindness is like a mother. Gentle, caring, filled with raw emotions and willingness to sacrifice all that she has for another being.

Kindness is like a father whose job is to provide and protect others in the midst of danger.

Kindness is nature, filled with serenity, love, and purity.

Kindness is you and me only if we allow it to stay and be acted upon... and kindness is @brijwhiz for sending a token to me and others from his winnings.
