I choose to be kind because
I also want others to be.
I choose to be kind because
I want people to accept me.
I choose to be kind because
Of the sins I will after.
More like collecting debts.
I choose to be kind because
this world isn't always.
I choose to be kind because
I don't have much time left.
I choose to be kind because
Someone have also been kind to me.
I choose to be kind because
I know it's a good deed.

people aren't always.

I want to set an example to others.
I'm going to hell anyway.

the world doesn't need to be ugly.
Someone else already said that. I know.

I choose to be kind because
My father told me to be.
I choose to be kind because
My parents are.
I choose to be kind because
Somehow, despite how grim things look,
I can give hope to someone else.
It doesn't have to be me, I already know
Where I'm going but
For hope.
I choose to be kind because
people expect me to be.
I choose to be kind because
I need to be.
I choose to be kind because
That's what the religious people said.
I choose to be kind because
We already live in a cruel world.
It does not have to be ugly.
Someone said this, not my own.
Wait? Someone else other than me
Already said this? And they said it's also
from somewhere else?
I choose to be kind because
I have no other choice.
I choose to be kind because
Sometimes I want to be
And sometimes I don't.
No particular reason, I guess?
Maybe for a favor?
I don't know, sometimes I just do
Without even me knowing it
Until someone else says it to me.
I choose to be kind because
that's what I to be when I grow up.
The boy said it. You know,
The boy, horse, fox, mole,
Poet, king, soldier.
I choose to be kind because
I want to be noticed.
I choose to be kind because
There is something I want.
I choose to be kind because
Peace.
I choose to be kind because
It's a good content.

I have faith.

What else can I choose?
I don't want to go back, you know?
I'm a changed man.
I need to be a changed man.
I choose to be kind because
That's what my favorite
Fictional character said.
I choose to be kind because
That's my favorite artist said.
I choose to be kind because
Good music exists.
I choose to be kind because
That's what my favorite song
Is trying to convey.
I choose to be kind because
That's what my favorite teacher said.
I choose to be kind because
I don't want to be like
Our strict and scary teacher in class
When I grow up.
I choose to be kind because
That's proper manner.
I choose to be kind because
That's just I am.
I choose to be kind because
I get to eat good food with my family
We eat and stay together because
I'm kind, my daddy's kind,
my mommy's kind, my sister's kind,
my brother's kind, even Bruce is kind too.
One day, he didn't bark
At the kind mail man
Who often delivers mail on
Sunday and Tuesday
When everyone's out except me, mommy
And Bruce.
I often hear mommy and the mail man do
Repairs on the second floor
I don't know what they're repairing though.
But mommy's always exhausted when they Come down after an hour or so.
I choose to be kind because
I want to be a cop just like dad.
He shoots bad guy.
One time, I saw his picture in the TV.
Mommy said people are looking for him.
Maybe they want to award him.
When dad got home that day
It was already very dark
I heard mommy crying.
When I went to the stairs
I saw dad for one last time.
He was hugging me mommy.
I called out to dad.
I don't know what they were talking,
I heard daddy telling mommy not to cry.
Dad looked at me and gave me a salute.
I saluted back.
Dad said he's going out for a while
And I had to take care of mommy.
When dad left,
mommy started crying again.
But it was more gentle.
That's the last time I saw dad.
But I know one day he'll come back.
People are probably preparing
A big reward for him when he get back
That's what I saw on the TV
And the posters.
It has a lot of zeroes.
One, two, three, four,
I think seven.
Seven zeroes and a one, because
Dad's number one.
I choose to be kind because
There's nothing else to be.
I choose to be kind because
In a way I'm talking to a higher being,
Doing the purpose the assigned me.
Yes, it was a higher being that said to me
To put that powder
In the drinking water tank of our school.
I did't kill anyone. I just did
An act of kindness.
I was told the powder is something like
That boost energy. So I did.
I did an act of kindness. That's all.
I choose to be kind because
Somehow the world notices this deeds.
I choose to be kind because
This is a good world, full of people.
That are in need of kindness.
I choose to be kind because
People are also kind to me,
Why shouldn't I be?
I choose to be kind because
There are good and kind people,
I want to be just like them.
I choose to be kind because
I want to help people.
I choose to be kind because
I want to be rich. Let's be honest,
We don't do favors for free.
We do it because we want something.
Martha, my office mate, she does favor,
A lot.
And you know what?
Martha's already an executive
In our company.
We started at the same time, actually,
but look at me,
I'm still in my crammy desk,
With a sometimes defective airconditioner
And a bossy and moody team leader
Who just can't fu-
Oh, sorry.
Who just can't shut..
Who just can't be kind.
Maybe that's why she's already
In her retirement age and still just
A team leader.
I don't want to end up like her.
I'll be like Martha.
I choose to be kind because
The film The world is Beautiful exists.
I choose to be kind because
Of that one movie
With that special case dad.
God! I love that show.
I choose to be kind because
I just want to be.
