Kindness

Hey everyone!

Today as I did some reading and checked my homepage, CNN I came across multiple articles about Obama's speech from Cairo earlier today. His main purpose was is to ease the tension between US & Muslim's and make it clear that we will find a way to peacefully live in this world together.

Shortly after I was checking up on my fellow bloggers I saw that Style & Substance posted an amazing Dalai Lama quote on her tumblr a while back...

“My religion is simple. My religion is kindness." – The Dalai Lama

I am someone who follows no religion but a belief in a super power that allows each of us to conjointly live on the Earth-mostly in peace. Because of my families history (both my parents being Hindu) I have found myself praying on several occasions, even though, I do not consider myself religious. I have decided as a human being who was placed here it is my duty to remain kind. Kindness is not something that should be done from time to time, rather an obligation to the Earth for being allowed to breath its fresh air, sit in its luscious green grass, and enjoy everything it has given us.

When I talk about kindness I don't mean always being nice to everyone and getting along with the whole entire world. Because lets face it- its far beyond impossible! Everyone has their enemies, their dislikes, and their problems. In my previous post I talk about how important it is to not get sucked into their ugly connotations... But as a human being it is each person duty to remain kind. It can be the simplest of actions- hold the door, smile at a stranger, help someone old with their groceries...you get the point. Just do it.

Hope you enjoyed today's post! Its getting late so I'm keeping it short and simple :) Tomorrow night is my birthday party in NYC at the Cosmic Cantina! I'm super excited. I spent the last two hours updating my ipod and dancing around in my room with my new dress on! So I'm off to bed now, gotta get my beauty sleep for tomorrow! Stay tuned for some more crazy shananigans...Goodnight!
