Who Cares?

“I mean, who really cares?” !!! “They don’t care so I don’t care!”

But is that really true?

Deep inside, I think we all do care about right and wrong, good and evil, treating people right and treating people wrong…

We want (maybe expect) to be treated well but aren’t, so we do the ‘even-Stephen’ thing and end up returning evil for evil 😦

The only way out of this trap is to return good for evil. “They don’t deserve it!!” “I already gave them a chance and they lost it!” “Everybody acts like that!” “People never change!”…..and so nothing changes because we didn’t 😦

Change has to begin somewhere. We can’t change others. I can’t change you-  you can’t change me. But if I change myself – or at least begin to work at it, somebody along the way will notice. It will begin to work on them too.

As we begin to offer a hand or word of help to others. they will pass it on and change happens in that moment. Take your neighbor a fresh loaf of sourdough or some fresh flowers. Who cares if you don’t know them! Knock on the door, tell them who you are, speak to them saying, ” I thought you might like this, nice to meet you.” and head back home. Simple as that.

What a reaction that might be!

Are you brave enough to try it?

You might find it was exhilarating!

You cared 🙂
