“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank
The brokenness of humanity cries out to us in the news. We hear stories about suffering and extreme poverty, homelessness, human slavery, the clothing on our shelves manufactured by workers experiencing unfathomable violence; continents in desperate need of clean water; children literally starving to death; violence, millions of people displaced. An innate sense of injustice connects us and compels us to respond because deep down we all want to make a difference. It’s overwhelming but we can set things right. We can repair the very fabric of society where it is being torn apart.
Where do we begin though? What does a life of love and justice look like? What can we do differently with our time, our giving and spending, our votes and voices, in our homes and in our community, in our city, in our country and globally?
I think that Anne Frank was right, and nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. Every time I see a human being doing good, making someone smile or laugh or showing kindness it restores my faith in humanity, the world, everything.
Heroes change the world through simple acts of kindness, courage and love for the benefit of strangers. They are ordinary people who know that a single experience of kindness or compassion delivered today can create emotional buffers for a person that can last a lifetime.
Our world needs more heroes. Let’s bring out the hero in all of us and make this world a better place.
We can change the world with kindness
