--be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle--
while these words are so true, we don't stop to think about how much of an impact they actually have. so many times, the words we say impact other people in more ways than we know. my guidance counselor today came up and asked me about an issue that has been troubling me for the past year, without any word from myself, and it made my day so much better. all because of a simple question that ended up in a resolution. be kind, for you don't know the impact your words have. time passes on, physical wounds may heal, but emotional ones do not. I still remember the harsh words of the elementary and middle school bullies who picked on the quiet kids. it took me a long time to get over that. relationships that end badly. those are the words that make the most of an impact. in a split second, the person you feel is the most important to you can do something that will change the way you look at things -- or at them. so, be kind. be smart. be generous. be christian-mannered. for Jesus taught us, love your neighbor as yourself.
