I haven't stopped being kind. In fact I have been pretty blimmin' busy being kind. So much so that I've forgotten some of the stuff I've done (honestly!).
I have:
- run errands for people overseas
- been patient
- given away clothes that I was going to sell to friends
- hunted down an orderly at the hospital to say 'thanks'
- held a chrissie party
- performed with my kids for an elderly Christmas party.
And to expand on that last point I would like to add:
Warning, now entering rant territory. This world sometimes sucks big time. Why is it that the elderly seem so disposable to society? We are all missing out on some serious talent and experience. I think that our society needs to take a big look at itself and to start re-learning a few core values, some courtesy, love and respect. Basically we need to stop being a bunch of self-centre fuckheads and reach out and look after each other.
Beware rant continues. I saw loads of older people today that are clever, patient, funny, kind and lonely. These people say they've got no family. Many are spending Christmas alone. I think that is bullshit. There are people out there that could be with them and are probably just too busy with their head stuck up their fucking arses. Thank God for the kind people out there that have the decency of heart to be there when others fail. I'm going to make a bigger effort every day to be one of the kinder people and less of one of the arseholes! Rant over!
