When A Lack of Kindness Changes Life

It was a few days ago my friend sent me a heart-wrenching video from a rescue she wanted to volunteer at, and we both wanted to go visit. We both love foxes and wanted a chance to see them and maybe even hold them.
But the video wasn’t what I was expecting. It was gut wrenching.
It hit my husband really hard.
As we sat at the table together listening, he looked up at me with watery eyes and said “Why can’t people just be kind?”
The day before we had just been talking about how to make a positive impact and spread positivity instead of more bullshit. We both just want to be a light in the world and help others.
The woman who ran the MN based rescue suffered her own battles but fought to save animals and advocate and educate about Autism as well. Yet, as humans can be such effing jerks, she was subjected to bullying beyond what she could cope with.
A beautiful human broken down by the hurtful words of other broken people who cast their own bullshit upon her… she couldn’t take it anymore. Sensitive souls are born and they DO NOT need to change!
People with so much anger and hurt within themselves, that are empowered by anonymity or feel justified in their spewing of hurtful things participated in extinguishing a positive light that made a difference in the lives of those creatures and the lives of those who loved her.
When did we as humans stop supporting each other or recognizing when someone is trying to do something good? Why do humans criticize that instead of honor it? I’m not saying all people do this… but I have seen my own fair share of it … judgement for being in this line of work, the people you pass on the sidewalk who cannot even look at you or acknowledge you when you say hi or the relatives who intend to hurt you with painful words or talk shit behind your back. And in my unwise years, I was one of these assholes at times. But I have worked hard to cultivate awareness of myself and the energy I am sharing with others.
This is what I wish for people to know…
You have an impact on others, PERIOD.
Your words DO matter.
Your actions matter.
Your choices generate KARMA, and that karma is passed down to future generations. So, the choice YOU make today and the karma it generates passes on to your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren, etc.
If you do or say things, in your own pain or anger or with the intention to hurt someone, I want you to know there are consequences for it… steep consequences if you fail to recognize what you are doing to another human. You can’t hide your intentions from the Universe.
And if you are just spreading negativity and gossip and talking crap behind people’s backs cuz that's how you are, you will find that energy turned back on you.
And if you are INTENDING to hurt someone, the World will have no sympathy for you.
I grew up learning that if you have nothing good to say, keep your damn mouth shut (and I have violated this advice at times). The reason is impact. There is a difference in speaking our truth to people, vs spreading negativity and intending to hurt someone. On the other side of this, we must deal with our own crap so we have the clarity to not be reactive and can be responsive instead. It allows us to be able to discern instead of reacting out of wounding and avoid generating karma!
I know this may not be uplifting, but it is life.
Assholes exist in the world but so do amazing, good people.
I just want humans to understand their impact on others and strive to be better.
There is no such thing as “no harm” in these experiences.
Let us all be the light.
