Why Be Kind?

52,808 views
In the wake of the US election, filmmakers Jessie Auritt and Alexandra Berger wanted to do something to try and combat the negativity, xenophobia, racism and sexism that surfaced. So they turned their camera on a demographic that hadn't been quite so jaded by the media and current events in the hopes that we might all learn from them and try to be kind and accepting toward other people, despite our differences. In the resulting short video, kids discuss kindness: what it is, why it's important, the consequences of being unkind, and why kindness is vital for our future. Their insights are profound and resonate against a world backdrop of strife and alienation. In the words of one wise child in this video: "If you be nice it gives you a magical life."

Made me cry. Such honesty from the kids. Reminds me how little it takes to be kind and yet, kindness is too scarce today.

This is so very important especially in this day and age. Children are so wise and can lead us in ways we all should think and live. Children are so honest and sometimes we don't like what they say but, these children are giving us insight in Life . God Bless each One of them.
