Food for thought by Carolyn Wong Chin

For all my friends, whether close or casual, I write this because everyone will go through some hard times at some point. Life isn’t easy. Below are some things to think about. Did you know that the people who are the strongest are usually the most sensitive?

Did you know that the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? Did you know that the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most?

Did you know that the three hardest things to say are I love you, I’m sorry, and help me? Sometimes just because a person looks happy, it doesn’t mean they are. Sometimes you have to look past their smile in order to see how much pain they’re in.

To all my friends who are going through some issues right now, let’s start an intentional avalanche of kindness. We all need positive intentions right now.

Take a pause, and kindly give a moment of support to all of those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind or just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune.


Can you relate to what Carolyn said? I know I can. Especially when she mentioned that the people who are the strongest are usually the most sensitive, the people who are the kindest are the first to be mistreated, and the people who take care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most. I’m interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.
