If there's ever a reminder to be kind to others and to talk to people who might need help, this is it.

- freedomben 8y agoAmen, and thank you for saying this. Simply being kind and smiling can be one of the most powerful things you can do. The kindness of a stranger, even just an anonymous name on the internet, can literally save lives.
- bifrost 8y agoI agree! I'm generally a pretty upbeat person but seeing people smile is still uplifting. I have kinda a naturally scowly face but I try to smile when I'm outdoors and its occasionally contageous.
- Fsp2WFuH 8y agoKindness doesn't solve this problem.
- pwinnski 8y agoNot alone, no. But it doesn't hurt, either. Suicidal urges often last a very short amount of time (ten minutes or so), and for some percentage of people, a kind word at the right time absolutely does make the difference. It may be a small percentage, but it's worth being kind to all.
- bifrost 8y agoI agree Kindness on its own may not do much but shaming, bullying and ostracizing are very deleterious. I'll put it this way - it certainly won't hurt.
