The Silent Battles Behind a Smile: Why We Should Be Kind to Everyone

source

I have studies something in my life and I have always come to realization that the Beatles behind each and everyone smile is to show kindness without descrimination.

Sometimes in life, the face we show outside is not the same with what we carry inside our heart. Many people are going through things they cannot even talk about, yet they still manage to put up a smile. I have experience this myself. There was a time I was passing through stress and disappointment, but anytime I step out, I just put a smile so people will not ask too much question. Inside me I was broken, but outside me I look okay. Like one of my mentor use to say that you don't need to look pitiful so that people can pity you.

That experience sometimes dey make me understand that we can never full know what someone is going through. A person you see laughing and playing can still cry later at night when nobody is watching him or her. That is why kindness is very important. Even small words like “you are doing well” or “don’t give up” can help someone’s heart to heal. Show care can help a lot you will still always be encouraged that someone is checking on you.

I remember one time in school, one of my close friends was always smiling and joking with us, we never know he was battling with family issues. One day he just open up and said he felt like giving up on school because things were too hard at home, he could not afford the school fees and some necessary departmental fees. We were shocked, but that day we all encourage him, sat with him, and shared food together. He later told me that was what gave him strength to continue that we all supported him. That show me how powerful little kindness can be.

The truth is, life is not easy for anybody. We all carry one battle or the other. Some people it is financial, some it is health, some it is family, and some it is even their own self. But because we don’t wear our problems on our forehead, nobody can know. That is why it is better to treat everybody with respect and love, no matter what.

Let us all know that, a smile can hide pain, but kindness can open healing. So whenever you see people, don’t judge them by only what they show or do. A little kindness, a soft word, or even just listening can make a big difference.
