It's so nice when you meet someone that finally gets it right. When one shade of gray reaches another shade of gray to recreate the dark, dismal picture that the world paints every day. New life, new perspective, new way of thinking. We get it. How come no one else does?
The black and white picture leaves so much out. The cold, hard facts of any situation must be infused with a kind, compassionate consideration for the human at the center of the controversy. My greatest hope for the human heart would be that it will always looks upon others with compassion, understanding, respect, and above all, the realization that everyone has a story. Everyone is going through something. Everyone is in a different place on their journey to accepting what has or has not happened to them and deciding where to go from here. Before you judge, reach out. Don't have an opinion on something that is none of your concern. Never speak out against someone with malice in your words that they don't need to hear from you.Chances are, they get that from everyone else already and probably even from themselves.
Instead, manifest that energy by promoting love and acceptance. Offer support instead of advice. Program your mind to speak words that lift others up and inspire them to make the same changes in their own lives. We're all here. We're all confused. We're all stressed and worried and trying to make it through to the light at the end of the tunnel. Make the conscious effort to be the person that makes the journey of someone else easier. Even a little bit. Because those seemingly insignificant acts of kindness ignite the spectrum at the end of the tunnel. Let's make it burn our eyes.
