The Plague Called Lack of Kindness

Those without kindness, honestly, they must have made a wrong turn at some galaxy or another and landed on the wrong planet. What a plague they are, too, but you know, even the balck plague was overcome, and many a plague before and after and it is my humble opinion that the plague called lack of kindness will also be overcome.

It has no strength you see. It is weak and furtive, it shows a little feistiness at times, but it's so clear that it's false bravado that it almost wasn't worth the effort. That lack of kindness - it is fear. It is the man behind you jeering at someone's hair that is different than his own, it is the raging driver thinking only of himself, it is always someone thinking only of themselves, becasue they are painfully, pathetically engrossed in fear, fear, fear, fear. And it doesn't serve.

In earlier times when something didn't work they said, "it won't serve," or "it doesn't serve." Fear doesn't serve, it's all about protecting its own sorry little rear, it centers so much energy on itself that in the end it shrivels up and dies, unnoticed, unheld, unloved.

Kindness on the other hand - lives forever. A stranger's kindness never dies though a thousand nice words may come after. A lover's kindness never dies though the space may not hold them together. The kindness that you give, it serves and it lasts and lasts and lasts, and even when you are long gone, you are never truly gone because the kindness itself never dies.

If only we could direct that lost traffic back the way it came, but it's even easier - kill them with kindness. Stay in your grace, and be kind. Pour so much etheric love over them that they run screaming and just keep pouring love and kindness until they lose their way back to you again.

The plague called lack of kindness is only as alive as you allow it to be. You hold the key to eradicating that particular plague in your own kindness. How you choose to act...yes - that is the question.

Choose well.

Blessings.
