Let's Do Our Best

Respect Others

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 6 months ago 1 min read
Respect and help others

“Everyone you meet

is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

Be kind.

Always”

This is such a good reminder

to be kind to everyone we meet,

whether we know them or not.

Sometimes

we are so consumed with our own troubles

that we just do not think of others.

All of us

are having a ‘battle’ of some kind

and

a few compassionate words

can make all the difference to our day.

Love, kindness and empathy

are qualities that we need in this world.

We want everyone

to feel supported and accepted.

When we show

understanding and compassion and kindness,

we are helping to encourage

a more sensitive and considerate society.

A pleasant smile

can make a person feel

so much happier.

Even just opening a door

for a mother carrying shopping

can make her feel that

‘the world isn’t quite so bad after all’.

And remember,

some disabilities cannot be seen,

especially if they are mental.

So let’s do our best

to be kind to everyone we meet

because they are (usually)

kind to us.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
