Letter: Kindness always works

Commentary on people's behaviors and attitudes towards COVID 19, protesting, monuments, religious views, politics, sports, weather

By Rodney Smith

Kindness. An attribute many of us have forgotten or sadly seem to have never possessed. I have read many posts, viewed several video clips, and listened to countless amounts of audio clips about: COVID 19, masks, protestors, rioters, statues, historical events, politics, and religious views.

I am truly amazed how many people have decided against showing kindness to others. It looks as if we have allowed fear, corruption, and confusion to muffle the voice of kindness. Opinions. Opinions. Opinions. All of us have our thoughts and opinions about all of these issues we are currently facing together, wether or not we state them written or vocally. When we do decide to share them, we need to do this in a way which echoes kindness.

Every time we speak, type, or write, sharing our viewpoints, we should use kindness. A book that has many wise sayings states; "A soft answer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger." (Proverbs 15:1) A soft answer doesn't mean you are weak, it only means you really care about others.

The next time you or I decide to share our thoughts and opinions, which is perfectly fine if you wish, please consider kindness. It always works.
