Transcript

The world does need more kindness,

More compassion and light.

But inside we are fighting and we want to be right.

We deny and we judge what we don't want to see as a part of ourselves that we don't want to be.

Being kind starts within us by accepting what's there.

We do all sometimes lie.

We are mean and not fair.

Even though often shameful to admit and to face,

We create true compassion when we start to embrace.

By embracing our darkness,

We can live our light,

Helping others to shine for their soul to ignite.

Being kind brings us peace.

It connects and it heals.

It's inspired by love and so precious it feels.

Look inside and be brave.

Face these parts and be kind.

And compassion for you and the world you will find.
