goes a long way…
I am continually stymied
by some people’s
complete lack of understanding
or consideration or kindness
the lack of
common garden variety courtesies
amazes me
more than running into an axe murderer
face to face
(and believe me when I say
“been there, done that”)
how hard is please and thank you
and mean it?
why is it so hard to offer courtesy
to strangers
let alone acquaintances
or friends
why does it continue to blow me away
when I hear/see/experience people
without the sense of compassion
to be kind?
wtf is wrong with people?
apparently kindness is a learned trait
it isn’t something
that all people are
born with
and frankly
that lack
speaks volumnes
to humanity’s penchant for
negativity
if someone holds a door open for you
take a second
and say thanks
if you have good service
in a restaraunt, pub, customer desk
say thanks
if you work next to someone
all day long
have the courtesy to say hello
or try a couple
of bland pleasantries
over the course of the day…
it’s pretty simple
being kind
why then am I constantly
farklempt
by people’s lack
thereof?
