Kindness

I read these few simple words from a yoga friend today.

You may or may not like them yourself, but I thought they were rather nice.


Kindness.

Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.

Re: Kindness

Lovely Mups.
However, never forget No. 4
Sometimes , kindness kicks you in the nuts.
No matter how hard you try to please / help people, there is always someone out there that will steal from you.
Your friendship, your heart, your thoughts, your existence.

Hiya gasman, wassup my friend? Someone upset you?
You sound a tad cynical tonight and that's not like you.
Come here . . .

I don't know what the hell you are talking about a lot of the time Mups. We are like chalk and cheese by all accounts.

Re: Kindness

This is an ancient quote by philosopher Lao-Tzu. Also attributed to him

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

"If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present."

"The more you know the less you understand."

I like that one, Annie.

Time we had some positive thoughts on here, I need a break from all the hatred, religion and politics.

Re: Kindness

He had oodles of nice thoughts. Here's some more :

"Without Darkness, there can be no Light."
"Music in the soul can be heard by the universe."

Thanks for posting, I found this clip about the background of his sayings. I must say I quite like his philosophy!

Re: Kindness

Everyone could use a little kindness every day, because if you are shown kindness you are more able to give it.
