We need more positive role models.
Indeed we do, so much negativity about.
I like this very much. I wrote a different haiku on the same theme some time ago – https://wordpress.com/post/scooj.org/417
For some reason this post won’t let me in, I get taken to my ‘Write’ page. Glad you like it.
Oh well here it is anyway (it’s not very good, and I would rewrite it now – hindsight and all of that:
An act of kindness
seen from a bus; a man gives
a tramp a square meal.
No, don’t change it, good imagery, square bus, square meal, square deal. Like it 🙂
While it’s wonderful to show kindness to those who need it most, I think kindness is best bestowed liberally on all. Good, honest, loving people also need encouragement.
Yes, indeed. Positive strokes make the world go around.
Kindness can soften the hardest of hearts.
and the giving can be rewarding 🙂
