I think it’ll not receive much attention. I do wonder whether certain permanently grouchy posters use this site to exercise their ill will about whatever is wrong with their life.
I smile when writing something kind. I don’t when I allow myself to get trapped in argument. This week I’m trying to resist everything but kindness.

Yes. Wouldn't it be lovely for this to reach the dizzy lengths some of the other GN topics have, in a kind way of course

I saw this posted on Facebook earlier today:

If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance and care.

Says everything really. I’d say it should go for the virtual world of GN as well.

Kindness and cooperation are survival strategies for many mammals, especially apes and humans where group living gives us security against outside threats and uncertainty. Together we are stronger!

Did anyone listen to the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2 this afternoon. In particular the item entitled “What makes us Human”
Now I’ll hold my hands up and say I am not a fan of the show and whilst I listen to radio 2 all day (in the background) I switch channels to anything rather than listen to him and his mostly overbearing guests . Today though I was trapped in a friend’s car and the show was on. Coronavirus was the discussion and the usual mix of people were giving their opinions. Then the item “What makes us human” came on and it was the turn of Kate Adie to enlighten us. What a beautiful and thought inspiring broadcast this was. Even though Kate has been to all the war torn countries and seen some terrible atrocities she says Kindness is what makes us human . If you can listen to it on catch up please try to.

She says she wishes that “We all just took a little time to be kind before we put pen to paper or our fingers on keyboards and social media or forums”..... Just got me thinking today ???
