Being KIND!

My Teacher taught me that the Number 1 rule is to BE KIND TO OTHERS. I never really understood what she meant. Yes, you can be KIND to others but, to be genuinely KIND every one is actually quite difficult. I am also one who needs to constantly practice being KIND from the bottom of my heart, even to those who are not KIND to me.

The other day, I went out and I really needed to use the washroom. So I walked into a Coin Laundry place and I asked the lady if I could use th washroom and she replied, "NO, you are an outsider." I felt really angry because she called me an "Outsider". But, later on, I realized maybe it wasn't her fault being unkind. I realized in this world so many of us take advantage and do not realize how important it is to be KIND to others.

Being KIND to some one else is so important. When you are listening to some one, it is important for us to listen to them with our whole attention and our whole Beingness. As well, it is important to be KIND to those who we pass by on the streets. I realized that if one person starts being truly kind to every one, others around will start being KIND too.

Let's all try and bring our inner KINDNESS out and start spreading it.
