Yes, let's become kinder.

The sound of music coming out of a speaker, the weight that no one helps us carry. Life is a breath that flies away, the infinite before and after us, the fear of not being enough and the courage to try anyway. We stop and look inside ourselves, the heart settling for a little piece of peace.

The arsenals are houses of men and women who have chosen to belong to everyone. From the outside, you see very tall walls, like a fortress. Who knows what's behind them, one thinks, without being able to imagine and understand the magic of the people inside. The happiness of others more important than one's own, loyalty to a dream to hold tight, tight in the heart forever.

Lonely people who lack friends, even more than many things, to welcome. Dull eyes of young people without dreams to ignite. Every day, 24 hours a day. Let it be done of me according to your Word, as if life were a destiny to be fulfilled. All to everyone, without wanting anything in return. Others first, then us, until we have no more strength, until the days end.

A revolution of love made of small gestures repeated to boredom to defeat cruelty, sadness, indifference. There are no heroes, only people to love, every little insignificant thing as if it were the most important, every day starting anew as if it were the most beautiful, one phrase on the lips and in the heart: "Can I help?"

Hours in silence searching for a presence. Every breath a prayer, time standing still, the certainty of having a father and a mother even in Heaven who can do everything and for whom our little lives are everything. To be a sign of a greater Love, a piece of Heaven fallen to Earth.

We fight stupid wars among ourselves for nothing, instead of discovering ourselves as brothers and sisters. The darkness of frightened, angry, disillusioned hearts, who no longer believe in the promise of a happy life and the hope of a better day, awaits a light. There is only one way and one thing to do. Become kinder.
