These are thoughts I have been having for some
time
now ...... and I would like to share them with you
before life in this world gets too crazy, and tomorrow
never
comes.
I have come to realize many things since I connected
to the Internet, in that we get to meet people we
never
would have met in any other way.
We get to know these people, not by their looks
or by their touch, but by their
heart and soul. If we
had met any of these people on the street, we may
not have given them a second glance.
Or,
maybe we would have looked at them and said:
"Hey, look how fat that person is," or
"Hey look, there's a gay guy" or
even
"Hey look, there's a person of colour."
We could have done this and never have known this
real person on
the inside. This is a very sad thing,
because I was one of those people. A person who
would have done exactly that.
But now, I have come to meet many people on the
Internet who have truly touched my heart in many
ways. They
have made me a much better person.
Wouldn't it be something if the whole world could be
touched like this?
To
get to know each other in ways they would never
have thought possible? I believe if they did, there
would be no war,
no homeless or hungry people.
This also applies to the people we already know.
Don't make assumptions. Don't be
judgmental. And
don't let pride get in the way of love. We should stop
to think how it would be tomorrow if we lost
that
person, and we didn't have the chance to say we
were sorry.
So, the next time you pass someone .... anyone
....
think about this. This person could be one of your
Internet acquaintances ..... one of those people you
would
love to meet. One of those people who have a
knack for making your day, or for bringing some
warmth and friendship into
your life.
One of those who've helped you along the way, and
you'd like to repay the favour in some small way. Just
turn
to that person and give them a smile .......
a warm hello.
And soon this will catch on, and soon we all will be
smiling.
Because if we don't, then the same chance
tomorrow may never come.
