      It never hurts to be kind. We can get twisted in a web of craziness anytime and on any day. I heard someone recently say, “Service is love made visible.” Sometimes we can be a little self-centered or come off as a little self-righteous when we don’t mean to. Kindness is service with a smile. So today, smile, even if you don’t feel like it, do it anyway. It’s a great mood-changer. You never know who needs to see a smiling face right now. You never know who may be hurting and just needs to feel a little comfort through your beautiful smile. It costs nothing to be kind.

“Have we fallen so far that we cannot trust even ourselves?”

I love his words about Delenn, perhaps the best words of wisdom he speaks, spat out with such venom from his hospital bed at his fellow caste members who nearly killed them all, in their stupidity:

“In her world, … we are better than we are… we act with compassion.”

So, with the Minbari as on B5, trust, solidarity, and the whole truth can indeed overcome half-truths and leaps to wrong conclusions, if you live long enough!

 

Truth Matters.

 Trust Matters.

Empathy Matters.
