The right (respite) to be kind

The first step to inner peace is to take a respite from your anxiety and anger. Then exercise your right to be kind.

It’s good to take a respite from our own opinions and attend to the voice of conscience. If we listen to it, it will help us be kinder.

To believe that society has no preconceived notions about people is unconscious bias. Unconscious bias is tricky. It secretly twists how we see things and distorts reality.

Take a respite
From words that rile.
Rest a bit
And smile awhile.
