we do all have rights and always remember to stand up for them.You know a woman came on the t.v yesterday and she has done alot of good work with people that are homeless, addicts etc. She stated on this show that all she wanted was for people to walk down the road and acknowledge people who are so less fortunate than we are. You know all it takes is a warm hello and a smile and it would make such a difference to this ongoing stigma wouldn't it? take care piglit

Hi Piglit,
What a meaningful story. I'm in agreement because so many times people struggling with mental illness also live in poverty and have suffered so many injustices that someone being kind genuinely gives them HOPE.

so true isn't it Rox a little kindness goes such a long way Hugs Piglit

Kindness, respect, compassion and humility are such simple things that positively impact the lives of other's. I find this a breeze and just part of my nature but it's a struggle for some and their struggles are hurtful to others.
Whatever happened to love thy neighbor? What happened to social empowerment? What happened to treating others the way in which we would like to be treated?

Unfortunately many people don't think like you and me Rox. I .ve have cared for people like you for many years and always will. Times have changed in so many ways and so have people. Sad but true xo

Hi piglit,
It's very sad that times have changed so much that human kindness has fallen by the wayside. We'll always care about others but I wish more people had a conscious.
Hugs,
Rox

me too

Roxie. You have such a kind, gentle spirit. Hugs.
