The last few months have been really bad for the world. There have been horrible hurricanes. Political tension. People being killed. Someone opened fire on innocents in Las Vegas. There are people in multiple countries being oppressed and killed every day. People in our own communities on the streets. There is violence and discord in our families, our homes.We need peace.And peace starts with us.It's time to stop letting our differences get in the way. It's time to stop drawing lines in the sand. We need to cross over those lines and love.We need to stop caring what divides us. All that matters is that we are human beings and part of the human family. That all of us have dignity and worth, and all of us matter. We are all equal.We need to realize, understand, and accept that we can bring peace to our world, to our work places, our communities, our homes, our families. All it takes is one simple thing--kindness. You don't know what one act of random kindness can do for someone. Whether it's opening a door for someone, letting the guy cut in front of you in traffic, donating to help the poor, volunteering, smiling at the stranger, listening to our children, compromising with our partners. One act of kindness is a small stone that will create unending ripples of love, hope, and peace.Lately, we've seen the worst of humanity. So let's start being the best of humanity.Be someone who makes a difference. Be kind to someone today. Love someone today. Put aside your differences and be a human being with someone today.Be a channel for peace.
