I believe it was Plato who first said, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." But Paul surely was more helpful when he enjoined the Corinthians to be "controlled by the love of Christ" and to "regard no one according to the flesh" so that we "might no longer live for [ourselves.]"
One of our deacons has recently made it a point to simply talk and then listen to people that he meets in the park or at his children's sporting events. He has been amazed at how hungry people are the barest displays of kindness. It appears that Plato is right, everyone is "fighting a hard battle."
The production values of the video below could use a little help, but the message is spot on. C'mon, what are you waiting for?
Here is a link if you want to watch it at Youtube.
