(original) Random acts of Kindness

[jabbamp]

"We can sometimes be stirred to care for 'distant strangers' more readily than we can be to express concern for the inequalities that exist almost literally on our own doorsteps. The extent of social inequalities that persist in our cities is a sad indictment of the failure of our geographical imagination to care for those closer to home"

Peter Jackson 2006

(From something I did a short essay on in uni).

awesome quote my friend! ~Raz

[shroomage34]

This pretty much puts it in perspective for me, thanks for reminding me that I have a moral obligation to others besides myself. If everyone performed a random act of kindness every day what a wonderful world we would have, yes?

[mishrathium]

what a wonderful world indeed my friend. ~Raz

Wow Angel, this is so beautiful! You're beautiful! We need more people like you in the world. I get you, totally, all my frustration with the world is summed up in what you've put in the info. Bless you for speaking out, in the gentlest, but powerful way you've done, and for seeing the truth. Thank you for baring your soul, sometimes you get the feeling that people 'hide', you definately don't, just incredible. Much love, respect and the biggest hug for you :-) X

[mishrathium]

And thank you angel for the listen and kind words. I'll take that biggest hug evar! ~Raz

[ruth7784]

Don't forget the love and respect! :-D X

Our similarities continue, Raz. I have a "Christmas" song with a similar theme, about how people will be kind and generous for a month and then retreat back down into their normal behavior again. The first stanza is

Another year gone, another calling

Waiting to come in

Though we talk of love and gratitude

Peace towards other men

Do you believe it will last past

January 10

Idle quotes and conversation don't changed hardened men

You have nothing to apologize for. Keep being honest.

[mishrathium]

bingo. Days we are "supposed" to do something really mean nothing to me. The days we are not are what defines us. Love your lyrics as always my dear friend. ~Raz

[healthyaddixion]

i've heard alot of negative talk about the focus on haiti while americans go hungry. my feeling is a person in need is a person in need, be it someone on my street corner or half of a world away.

humanity is humanity. compassion is compassion. we need to learn how to care about each other, every day.

[mishrathium]

"we need to learn how to care about each other, every day" well said my dear friend. ~Raz

Nicely done!!..the drums were cool. As far as the words,some see only what they want, now aren't they the sellfish ones...

[mishrathium]

too true... TOU/Raz

[7lizet]

some people like to see the truth

like they want to see it

but the facts tell the real truth

[7lizet]

really cool Raz

people always blame others

I have seen it in my own family to

but at the end of the day it was

all about themselves

if you want to change the world

you have to change yourself first

thats my believe

great song
