We could incorporate our religion into every home, every school, every place of business. The Doctrine? To be kind not only to all those who you come across in your daily life--but to be kind to YOURSELF, as well.
Upon waking each morning, the first thought from your mind would be, "What kind thing can I do today to help others? To help myself? To spread this beautiful religion?" Then the next step would be to go about your day speaking kind, caring words, doing kind, caring deeds, sharing the love and joy that lives in your heart so that others might experience that very joy and love that you are experiencing. Can you imagine? Can you just envision walking along and someone greeting you with a genuine smile and truly, truly caring when they ask you, "How are you doing today?" and not just caring, but taking the time to LISTEN to your answer, to actually HEAR your reply. Wow--what a beautiful start to not only your day, but to that lucky person you happened to greet.
Can you imagine being in a place of business and perhaps noticing someone in need of assistance--maybe they're elderly and can't quite manage to reach something off a shelf, and here you are eager to help with no other thought than to be helpful--no expectation of anything more than a genuine smile of joy that you receive in return for your help.
Can you just imagine what an awesome, friendly world this would be if we all KNEW that wherever we go, whatever we are doing, there is someone within reach, just steps away willing to lend a hand, to reach out to us whenever we're in need? And then imagine the joy we would feel as we pass along the good and kind deed by helping and doing for others and expecting nothing more than for that person we helped to pass it on to yet another in need of a kind and caring act, or word or gesture...
My prayer, my hope, my wish, my goal is to live my life with KINDNESS as my RELIGION. I hope I will be able to convert all of mankind to this beautiful religion of Kindness. The only rule would be to pass it on and to continue the goodness so that all might feel the joy and the love that mankind is so capable of sharing and living whenever we all decide that this world has had quite enough of hatred, bad deeds, ill manners, crime and destruction. I hope, hope, hope that KINDNESS can become the RELIGION of ALL MANKIND.
It really can happen, you know...All it takes is one kind act, then another and another and another until each human being is touched with the beauty and joy and loving kindness that they so deserve...
IT CAN HAPPEN!!!!!
