THE SILENCE AT NIGHT

Its at that time of the night when all your demons come out to play, the thoughts and regrets of what you could have done better. Its the silence between your ears that says nothing all you hear is a melodic sorrow. Its the whispers in your head and the tears behind your eyes that burn like fire, its the thirst in your throat, loosing your breath and your chest contracting and you cant breath, your heart feels like its about to pop out and all you can do is lie there helpless. Everyone is going through something that you do not know of, and they are trying their best to hold it together be kind to the next person you meet. The problem is thinking you are the only one going through the most, the problem is thinking the world revolves around you, the problem is thinking everything should be about you. Be kind to that cashier, be kind to the cleaner, be kind to the garage attendant, be kind to that bank teller, be kind to the security guard, be kind to the person that greets you even when they dont even know you. Each an everyday millions of people wake up to go to work or to go to their businesses and we all put on a mask beneath the cloth mask we put on to stop the spread of the virus, we put on a smile when we see loved ones or our collegues, we wear that smile even though our hearts are bleeding because of the silence at night. Never assume that someone is always happy when you dont know the battles they have to fight, never assume that someone is okay when you see them smiling, never assume that someone's life is perfect when you dont know the battles they fight. We have been putting on a mask way before the pandemic happened. So now ask yourself while looking at the mirror is kindness really that hard to express to each an every human being you come across? but i know most rude and obnoxious human beings are horrible human beings because of their own demons and not the person they direct their rudeness or obnoxiousnewss towards. Before you go to sleep tonight ask yourself if you are kind to atleast one person everyday? if you have done any good deed to make someone's day, it doesnt take anything from you to be kind, it wont take away your money, your beauty, your job or your life to just be a descent kind human being. Be kind the silent nights are already a horrible experience for most people out there dont make thier day a nightmare aswell! By: Olebogeng R Motsanana
