Kindness is Cool
Why are people so mean? Is it the lack of empathy people have towards one another, is it that people are only focused on themselves they forget about others, or is it we've forgotten what it's like to remember what it would be like to walk in another person's shoes, to be honest I believe it's all of the above and more.
Currently I am taking classes at Doane College here in Lincoln and I love how education can truly inspire people and drive them to success. I think as I've gotten older I've learn to really appreciate learning and getting an education. If ya'll read my blogs you know that it's been a struggle, dropping out several times but going back has been hard but the most rewarding feeling at the same time, I also believe that's what molds us as people.
So what's been the change in society? While in Ethics class it's been stated several times in our book that society is a mean and cruel place and that we are naive creatures to believe that people are good. This statement truly broke my heart because it's unfortunately true in a lot of ways. In my Social Psychology class in our book it takes about how in this 21st century we are all only worried about ourselves, this occurs mostly in Western cultures and that it's all about individualism.
Which brings me to a thought about my own life, growing up, and the bullying I endured. Somehow in my generation, being a "Millennium" women don't stick together. We don't build a "Tribe" lifting one another up, helping! Instead, we women "Form the Mean Girls Club" bully each other, and tear each other apart.
I want to believe better than this, one of my main goals as blogging is to be real and honest and to spread positivity. To many people in this world are cruel, but starting now my mission is to begin to spread love. Plant a seed, and watch it grow. I want to start a movement that makes people believe in humanity again. If you're like me sometimes I've begun to become so focused on myself. There is nothing wrong with that, but sometimes I get caught up in "Self Focus" and not "Self Care." I get to talking about myself so much: "I want to slap myself right in the face!" haha. (See there again laughing at my own jokes). Stop focusing on yourself and start spreading love, and kindness.
Start the movement:
I don't care what it is, buy a friend lunch, buy a stranger coffee, maybe it's just giving a colleague a compliment. It doesn't even have to be money related just something that gets you, outside of you, and focusing on you! Give your attention to someone who might need it more. There's nothing more satisfying than making someone else feel special. I promise you, you won't be disappointed because KINDNESS IS COOL!!!!!
Peace and Love,
Cierra
