Everyday life is full of opportunities to be kind and help someone. Why is it, often times, we let those moments pass us by without lending a hand. Instead of stopping to see how we can help, we turn our head the other way and act like we didn't see a need to anything.

In those moments, I can't help but feel that I was put there, in that very moment, to assist some one who needs help. I believe we are all interconnected in the weave of life. My actions affect you just s much as my inaction can affect your life too.

It's easy for most of us to just not get involved. It's not our problem, right? Sometimes our lack of empathy amazes me. Many of us are literally unable to put ourselves in anyone else's shoes or try and understand where some one else night be coming from. It's sad really.

See, a ripple effect of kindness. Share it and pass it on.
