INTRODUCTION:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For
lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a
child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For
poise, walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk
alone.”
-Sam Levenson
“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never
know how soon it will be too late.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
DEDICATION

with you again!

ACHOO!
Get away! That person didn't sneeze into their elbow
like they were supposed to! That means the sickness will
spread- because it's a virus! A virus- one of the scariest
things on the news: The Bird-Flu, The Swine Flu, SARS,
whatever. VIRUS!
A virus spreads from person to person, and infects
whoever catches it. The person might get symptoms
immediately, or the virus may germinate for days or weeks
before the symptoms appear... but they will appear!
I'm a big Star trek fan, and in Star Trek, all viruses
happen FAST- I mean, they gotta catch it, learn about it,
and cure it all within 40 minutes!
If you watch the latest ZOMBIE movies, a zombie
virus can spread through an entire city, state, and country
within an hour or two!
And usually, it's because of some terrible accident
that went WRONG...
But what if we released a virus on purpose- a
virus that spread KINDNESS?
A virus that made people nice.
A virus that made people thoughtful.
A virus people enjoyed catching and spreading?
Wouldn't that be GREAT?
PATIENT ZERO
The thing is- a virus always has to start someplace,
and with someone:
“Patient Zero.”
Someone has to be the first person infected, and the
first one has to spread it to others. Without Patient Zero,
the virus never even gets started.
But what if we could control who Patient Zero is?
What if it were an easy thing to become?
What if YOU could just choose to start the virus?
Wouldn't that be COOL?
SPREADING THE VIRUS
In a pandemic virus movie, or in a zombie movie,
the spreading is hard to stop. Once the virus is loosened,
the heroes have to work together against the clock to save
the human race before the virus spreads too far.
But what if we were trying to spread the virus?
What if the virus died without our help to spread?
What if the heroes infected people on purpose?
Wouldn't that be WEIRD?
KINDNESS
Kindness is defined as:
“The quality of being friendly, generous, and
considerate.” also “An instance of kind behavior”.
What if we spread KINDNESS like a virus?
What if we could catch “Friendliness” from others?
What if we came down with the “Considerates”
How would that affect your life, and the world?
Can you imagine it? How would that feel?
Wouldn't you like to be a HERO in that story?
ME TOO!! Let's see how we can do that...
CATCH IT!
I've got an idea- let's play a game of “tag”, where
you start out as “It” and spread the “Kindness Virus” to
people all throughout the day.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
You wake up, and choose to be “Patient Zero” for
the day. You look at yourself in the mirror, and you choose
to see the symptoms:
Your eyes are wide open
Your mouth is curled up at the corners
Your teeth are showing
And you have a pathological need to be
“Friendly, Generous, and Considerate”
SPREAD IT!
Like a generous zombie with a mindless,
compulsive instinct, you instantly do something nice for
the first person you see!
You flash a big smile and a “Good morning!”
You attack them with a hug!
You pucker your lips, and give them a Huge
Kiss- RIGHT IN THE BRAAIIINNNNN!
Maybe that's too much, and maybe you're scared
your infection will kill them if they get too much at once,
so you give them a smaller dose:
You bring someone coffee!
You buy them flowers!
You pay the toll for the person behind you!
You pass out dollar-bills in the street!
But that's just the beginning of your infection.
As the HERO of this pandemic disaster movie, not
only are you Patient Zero, but you're also the LEADER of
your pack of “Kindness Virus Zombies”!
First YOU do something nice for someone, and then
that person (unbeknownst to them), is infected with good
feelings... but it may not be enough to spread the virus.
They may be immune; maybe they developed a
resistance to it because of how lousy their attitude is.
Perhaps they're in so much denial that it even happened,
that they locked themselves up in a restaurant with a
shotgun and ammunition to isolate themselves from the
sickness... but we'll get them eventually.
Because you have continued to infect more people
with your Kindness Virus, and some of them will be
extremely susceptible.
The virus will multiply in their system, and before
they realize it, they will feel COMPELLED to do
something “kind” for someone else:
They might hold a door open
They might carry someone's bags
They might let them cut in line
Who knows what kind of madness you will have
started!?!?!
And then it spreads... person to person... neighbor to
neighbor, parent to child... child to sibling!
Yes! That's how insidious the Kindness Virus is- it
might even affect THE CHILDREN!
And sooner or later, the infection comes back
around to you... but it's stronger.
It has mutated!
What started out as a simple act of Kindness has
traveled the world and gone from host body to host body
until it grows and becomes marches in the streets for the
equality among all types of people.
Until it becomes a movement to feed the poor and
heal the sick.
Until it becomes a new view on life as we finally
recognize the truth:
That we are all ONE:
Created by each other, for each other,
and we are all part of each other.
Soon, the Kindness Virus takes over the world, the
Galaxy, and the Universe until we look back, and see that
the Kindness Virus is where we all came from, where we
all started, and where we will all end up.
The Kindness Virus is a Living Thing, and we are
all an integral part of it's life and it's growth.
And it can start with a small, unlikely, and
seemingly insignificant part of it all....
YOU!
Thank You For Your Kindness!
Can I Ask A Favor?
Recently, a friend of mine suffered a horrific tragedy when she was hit by a car. After almost a month in a very unstable coma, she awoke with terrible brain damage, and her family is trying very hard to help her recover her old life back. Obviously, this is very difficult.
She could use some kindness and some support, so I'm hoping you'll help her recover:
