You can take the hustle and bustle of a train station, a restaurant, a warehouse, an office all for granted and just see the big picture of people traveling, people eating, people shipping and receiving, people processing paperwork needed for the day or week.
Now take all of those pictures and scenerios, and see the multi good deeds that play out in a day, all of the patiences involved, all of the kindnesses, all of the strangers one gets to know throughout their work days. All of the people living on an edge these days, whereby they encounter one kindness that gets them through a glitched week.
America is tired and damaged currently, many systems are broken down badly, many theories have gone into a holding bay....they should work still, but they do not, we can't quit throw them out, but it's our idealism that makes us hold onto them for when things are better.
Loan programs whereby the people have enough income to support a loan, and they still have a home, but the home won't appraise out, and yet there is not enough loan to value ratio in it to support the ultra conservative banks desires.
Builders who have been forced out of building homes, owning land, home building once in progress, cannot obtain the loans to keep building until all properties are sold.
Office building lining the freeway 30% occupied, office rents once 1200. monthly reduced to $800. and empty, people cannot get the business loans to support starting a new business.
Prices still high or risen on the very gas needed to convey us to work, hours slashed, pay checks reduced, mass layoffs, businesses closing their doors. And:
Homes shattered by all of these aspects, are now manifesting violence more frequently as bizarre scenes play out within their walls. Lives affected by the fallout that is left to the survivors when survivors are left.
So please never take the kindnesses of the people you encounter throughout your day for granted. We can carry eachother with these encounters, strangers almost, but common in our surroundings. The only way we can survive is to continue one simple kindness a day....and carry eachother through this dark time.
