MKE Week 16 – I Hope Someday You’ll Join Us

I Hope Someday You’ll Join Us

Kindness week could so easily have been called happiness week because being kind and experiencing or witnessing kindness really brought a lot of happiness and joy.

Just like last week, I think that the important thing about kindness was probably the awareness of it. Kindness showed itself to be everywhere and the more one looked the more one would find.

What was quite illuminating to me, especially from reading other people in the group’s messages was different ideas of kindness. I noticed that there were quite a lot of things that people put that I wouldn’t have thought of as being kind, they were just things that you do naturally or instinctively.

Just because that’s what a good human does. However when you look at these things they are kind. Thought has been taken to do a good thing or no thought has been taken but the thing is good anyway.

Good, nice, helpful, caring can be interchanged with kind and that’s where all the abundance was found. Does kind have to be intentional? I don’t know, I don’t think so, I just think it has to be labeled as such by someone who has experienced it or witnessed it.

I wished that the world could join in and have a kindness week along with us. Heck it wouldn’t even need to be kindness week, kindness day or kindness hour would do. If everyone in the world was focused on it, what a wonderful world that would be for that period of time.

I can’t tell you the number of times this week that the song “I’d like to teach the world to sing” was in my head. I remember when I first heard that song I was probably seven or eight and I loved it. I couldn’t think of anything that would be better for the world.

I really wonder how much of the world it would take to be concentrating on the same thing at the same time for significant change to occur. I know that there are measurable changes when a large group concentrates on peace.

For example, Joe Dizpenza has done “walk for the world” a few times but I’d love to see what something like kindness would do for the world. I feel the ripple effect would probably go on and on.

Hmm, I guess Lennon said exactly what I feel after kindness week and my hope that one day I could see the world doing it at the same time so we could experience the results;
