The Kindness Manifesto

When you were hungry, instead of organic gaunty food, we gave you junk food When you were thirsty, instead of water we gave you Coke and destroyed your health.

When you needed a hug, instead of love, we showered you with material gifts

When you yearned for our presence, instead of our time, we gave you television and computer games

When you were eager to learn, instead of being examples, we gave you book knowledge and called that education

When you wanted to explore the world, instead of walking by your side, we gave you cars and bikes

When you looked forward to meeting your friends and relatives, instead of visiting them we gave you mobiles

When you wanted to excel, instead of co-operation, we gave you competition When you tried to succeed honestly, instead of encouraging you, we taught you to bribe

When you wanted a cool atmosphere, instead of providing shade, we cut trees and gave you air conditioners

When you looked for a better future, instead of good leaders, we took money for votes and gave you corrupt leaders

When you sought your right to live freely, instead of a home and land, we put you in concrete boxes

When you were dreaming of a bright future, instead of a healthy life, we cut the earth into pieces and converted it into paper called money and gave you false security

When you were looking for fulfilment, instead of satisfying your needs, we multiplied your wants and encouraged your greed

I AM SORRY, EXTREMELY SORRY. I BELIEVE THE CRY OF THE EARTH IS ALSO THE CRY OF OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN
