Quote by Basil Sparks

“Kindness steps over racial prejudice to see the human being on the other side of colour. Kindness identifies, in each of us, the need to be loved, respected, and validated. And when an act of kindness does that, it no longer matters that I am White, and you are Black. Kindness steps across all hostility; racial, religious, language, etc. It is a powerful weapon that changes communities, one kind act at a time.”

“Unlike being nice, kindness is not about what you're portraying, but what you're doing...applying actual love to make the world a better place. Sure, you may smile nicely at the old woman on the bus, but kindness is what makes you give up your seat for her.... Niceness is a mask many folks can wear because that is simply a part of being in a society. ... The pretend politeness of niceness can get in the way of tactful honesty and constructive critique that can be essential to advancing people and projects to a higher plane. As I've gotten older, I've learned that being 'nice' about something can save you conflict, but often, being real about it can save you time. You just gotta learn when, where, and how to apply your realness. Nonetheless kindness always has a place in the game, even if it's just being kind to yourself. ... All you can do is try your best to be yourself and make a practice of being kind.”

“Are fairies kind? Do they like humans? “Of course, they love humans very much and, in some ways, aspire to be like humans. They are the link, if you like, between the plant world and the human world, they are from both realms. They love you all, very much, but they wish more of you would believe in their existence, so that you could see them. Even you, cannot yet see them, although you know that they are there, as you fear your higher psychic talents.” Oh, so it is like in children’s stories, if you don’t believe in fairies as adults do, you cannot see them? “Yes exactly, where do you think the writer got their ideas from, it was from the fairy realm? Children are more likely to see fairies, as they are more believing and delighted in what their eyes see. It is only when adults, then judge what the children are seeing, that the children shut down their psychic senses that enabled them to see the fairies in the first place.” – Gum Tree Fairies”
