Be Kind

Be kind

We are accountable for our words, thoughts, and actions.

Imagine if we were actually held accountable for the energy we spread into the world. It could be a nice pat on the back for all the kind things we do and say, but – yikes! - what an expensive reality check for the negative energy we send out.

“Let’s see sir, we have you accountable for 13 negative words/actions today.

3 angry gestures/words while driving in traffic this morning.

1 irritated roll of the eyes and angry sigh at the server at the coffee shop.

2 outbursts at the office to the ‘knuckleheads’ as you not-so-kindly called them.

3 sarcastic remarks made about that young musician.

1 comment directed to writer of the article in the sports page.

And 3 Facebook ‘shares’ of unkind messages about other religions and cultures.

So, that makes your total 13, and at $100 a pop, your total for the spreading of today’s unkind energy is $1,300. Please pay the cashier on your way out.”

Indeed we ARE accountable. With so much anger and hate in the world, the energy we add does make a difference. Choose to be kind. And in the meantinme, let’s be happy that for now no one has figured out how to keep tabs.
