Be kind, because every person is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Behind the smile, behind the laughter, behind the façade of confidence, lies a soul that's struggling, striving, and searching for hope.
Every person you meet is fighting a battle,

a battle against their own doubts, fears, and insecurities. A battle against the weight of their own expectations, the pressure of their own goals, and the pain of their own past.
You may not see the scars, but they're there. You may not hear the whispers of self-doubt, but they're loud. You may not feel the weight of their worries, but it's crushing.
So, be kind. Be kind because you don't know what they're going through. Be kind because you don't know what they're struggling with. Be kind because you don't know what they're fighting against.
A gentle word, a listening ear, a helping hand these can be the difference between darkness and light, between despair and hope, between giving up and keeping going.
Be kind, because every person is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind, because every person needs a little bit of kindness to keep going. Be kind, because every person deserves to be treated with compassion, empathy, and love.
