Kindness

         There is a boy your age. You see him sitting on the stairs, all alone. He looks fine, but you can see beyond his mask. You know he is hurting and needs someone to talk to. So what do you do? Would you walk by him without a second thought or would you sit next to him and talk to him? He sighs, rubbing his face. It’s a sign that not all is right within him. So what would you do? If you go sit next to him you lose time from whatever you were going to do, but if you leave him alone he may never recover.
         You should sit down next to him. People are so complicated that even the dumbest word could set off a fuse. Everyone needs someone to talk to or even to listen to. Sit down next to him and talk to him. Who knows you might just save his life or even make new friend. You probably were like him at one time, quiet and reserved. Offer your ear, I bet it will be beneficial for both of you. Sometimes it is better to listen than to talk. We do more talking than listening. Do someone a favor and listen.
         If you would have sat down and talked to him than please don’t stop caring for others. Even if it hurts you don’t stop. You may never understand the significance of one kind word. For those of you who would have left him alone then you need to understand that there are things greater than you. Do you really believe your life is worth more than the lives of others? Would you sacrifice others for your own benefit? This is a waking call for you! Life is not just about you and your egotistic mind. It takes a strong man to stand for the weak. So why are you afraid to help him out? He has done nothing and yet life hits him the hardest. You refuse him the comfort of friendship. How can you be so selfish? This is not for me, but it’s for him and you. Spend time with him, get to know him. How can someone so innocent deserve something so horrendous? Do him a favor and talk to him. Even if it is a minute it could be life changing for him. Open your self to others, be more compassionate towards others. I see people overlook others at their time of need. Please do not make their mistake, help others out. Only then can you truly understand the feelings of others. May you go forth and offer a hand to all of those in need. Who knows, you might be the one in need.
