Is this original or did I hear it somewhere.

Could there a better way to say this.

Be the kindness you where denied.

    I feel this is bigger than most people realize.

    How many times has an improvement to society been suggested and “Well, I never had that, so why should others?” pops up, and something that could help a lot of people just gets tossed aside because somebody wants everyone to suffer as they have.

      My sense is that a lot of the people who say, “Well, I never had that, so why should others?” fail to recognize or remember the kindnesses and support they did receive. i.e.: they’ll also say, “I grew up the child of a single mom on welfare - no one gave us anything.” There’s a specific right-winger I’m thinking of, but I can’t remember his name.
