Good Hearted

Definition: showing or motivated by sympathy, understanding and generosity; having or showing a tender, considerate and helpful nature.


I don't understand people sometimes. Why does the world have to be full of so many selfish people? Has this always been a problem in our society or is it something that's just been increasing with our generation. Why can't generosity and kindness be a life lesson that all parents teach their children? My parents did... I  obviously have days where being kind isn't on the top of my list but I like to think that most days it is. I care so much about my friends and family that I would do anything for them. If they need my help I will stop what I'm doing or cancel my plans to be there for them. In my mind, there's nothing more important then helping someone you love.

I don't understand why people can't go a little out of their way for someone else. Even take just half an hour out of their "busy" everyday lives to do something simple for you. I guess I know now that family will always be the people I can turn to. So this will be a tribute to my beautiful sister Sarah, who's caring soul shines brighter then anyone I know. Why can't people be more like us? :)

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
