Open Letter
Have you ever tried putting yourself on someone else’s shoes? Have you ever tried to wonder how their day was? Have you thought about what’s above the blues? Have you been good to others? People laugh and smile, People cry and grieve, Some people might be fragile, Some people are so brave, How do you look at people? How about you? How well do you judge them? How are you? We use our mouths as we speak As we speak, it may be knives to stab the person It may be a bouquet of flowers to offer relationship Or it may be dark chocolates to express it to our love ones We use our eyes to see things, Seeing the things around you Makes you understand everything But, are you sure what you see is true? He might be smiling, But deep inside, he’s heartbroken, She might be rude, But inside her, she’s just protecting herself and is afraid to get hurt Like how the earth revolves around the sun, We live day by day, We keep judging everyone, But it doesn’t mean we’ll turn them into flowers that decay Everyone is facing their own battle We are all knights Some maybe soft like waffle But know that inside us there is a bright light Empathy and kindness If you can’t have them both, at least have one It will help you to judge less And help you love everyone

As of current events, I always put myself in the perspective of those people living in Ukraine right who are the victims of war. I can't fathom what they are going through right now and the mixed feelings they have for their loved ones and for their country. I really hope this war will be over soon. Nice piece by the way, empathy and kindness indeed is what we need for world peace to be achieved.

Yeah correct we must to consider and know their sides first before anthing else and we must to avoid judging other people.
That's how some people judging others, I admit that sometimes I'm rude and so mean but I regret and being guilty about what I did. You're absolutely right, empathy and kindness will help us to love others. Nice meeting you here by the way 😊
