Be Kind to Others

By: Edward Fox, Free Agent News Syndicate

Whether we scrutinize one another for the slightest imperfections or criticize each other for the gratification of oneself, we should try to be kind to others. It is a fact that some people are more fortunate financially than others. Some people are more talented in certain areas than others. A few humans even try to rank themselves higher in status while belittling the rest. Now does this create conflicts?

Many are more fortunate financially than others. Yes, some lucky people inherit a large amount of money. The result is they have all the resources available such as fancy cars, clothes, extravagant houses, and a better way of living. Compare this to Roger who lives in a poor neighborhood, with barely any clothes, food and no transportation. Now this is quite a difference in lifestyles.

Some of the public are more talented in certain areas. A few individuals are naturally gifted athletically. That is to say these individuals can pick up a sport like basketball, football, soccer and be very successful at it. Even with very little practice. Others excel in school and become successful lawyers, scientists or businessmen. Does this make them better than the rest?

Now it is apparent that some of the masses try to rank themselves higher in social status while belittling others. I guess these individuals believe that because they are filthy rich or are in a higher position in the work force, everyone else must bow down to them and look at them like gods. These individuals will mock, use obscene words to put down others. All for the purpose of making themselves appear higher in the social latter.

To answer one of the questions, Yes this does create conflicts. The inequality in money creates jealousy, greed, violence. If an athlete is too good in a sport, this can create envy among the rest. If a person places themselves higher socially among others, but also mocks them, then it creates real problems. So then next time you are angry, upset or want to yell a profanity at some else, remember to be kind.
