space EditorEditor’s note: Humans have a deep desire to create connections and yet our subconscious fears prevent us from creating the very connections we want. Fear creates distance whereas vulnerability and kindness allow a deep connection. Paradoxically, sometimes we are more able to expose our deepest vulnerabilities to strangers over the people we love most. Kindness allows us to dispel this fear and connect by keeping our hearts open. –Ameeta space

– George Sand –

Color Your World With Kindness

Delight in this gorgeous animation designed for children and adults alike by ‘A Better World’. The film portrays how small acts of kindness can positively change the feelings and attitudes of others and how naturally this will spread, grow and flourish within our communities and beyond.
