Give It A Second Thought

You see, no matter how many times you 'like' that post about 'only living once' or how much you tweet about homeless people, nothing is going to happen
Unless
You get on your thinking cap and ponder whether you can afford to leave your comfortable, self-centred life of phone hugging and depart out into the real world.
Try out new things, talk to that person on the bus next to you, help that old person with their shopping, treat strangers with the respect that they deserve - no less than anyone else. These little things...no matter how small make a difference, it will improve your outlook, your mood and you will learn to appreciate those special things in life - meeting new people, or just having a good old chat. These little things are what makes us human - no amount of facebook spamming or phone hugging will do that.
Without these moments, we are not human, just mere shadows of what we could be, like robots with no buzz to their life.
So next time that you help out a stranger or donate old belongings to charity, be proud of the difference that you have made and be aware that bit-by-bit, you are making this world a better place for everyone.

Thanking You

It's easy to become complaisant in the face of familiarity. Some things are done and said in the name of popularity. It's the little things from special ones that separates them from humanity.

Tomorrow.

Selflessness is rare. Our world is tarnished, blackened by greed and envy. Driven to delirium on the quest to conquer.

Big Is

Big is as big does,. Big lives in love and trust. Big is little Them, big Us. Big is not 'just' it's 'must'. Big is not big guns. Big is not big guns. Big is not big knives and big guns.

Judgements

More and more people are getting hurt because of other people. People judge too harshly when they should realise they only know a persons appearance and name not the story behind either one of them.

Any Chocolates Still Chocolate

Are we not all the same, the sole divide but a name, a claim made for innocence souls drenched in shame. If we bleed for each other feel for another will it bring us change.

Too true. It sometimes seems that technology is making people almost fearful of real connections... I am often very chatty (but live in quite a parochial town!!) That can feel a bit lonely at times, but I still try to chat with people and brighten up their day if I can 😊 (although, they probably mostly think I'm bonkers!!😄😄)

Exactly!!!! Rebuild communities

Thanks for the repost @mrsS

@mrsS yeah exactly :D most people are content with tech and forget how good it is just to have a chat
