Heart Scars: Don’t Be The One To Cause Them

Hey, guys! I’m back with another awesome post! 🙂 Today, I am gonna talk about something very important that some people just don’t seem to understand: basic kindness, especially to people with disabilities. This will sort of tie in with my last post, titled: “Having disabilities is not a bad thing”. Kindness is very important, it is also important to have the right idea of kindness. Someone could kick someone, make them bleed (on purpose), then go up to someone else and say, “Yeah, I’m nice!”. Same thing goes for treating people with disabilities.

Doing and saying mean things to people with disabilities not only wounds their heart, it also wounds their family’s hearts. After a while, the wound heals. Well, mostly.

What is left of the wound is an ugly scar that stays there forever. Also, they (the people made fun of and their families) will probably tell people. Then, they will be upset and wounded. Then, they (the people the first family told) might tell people. Now there’s a reason not to be mean. One mean thing you say or do, could scar a bunch of people’s hearts!

Caring about and being kind to disabled people is becoming more and more important in the eyes of society, but our society has still got a long way to go. Hopefully, if you are reading this you already understand how important it is. Think about it, YOU can be the one to teach people that having disabilities is not a bad thing. YOU can be the one to teach people how important it is to be kind to everyone, including disabled people. YOU can be the one to set the example of being nice. Instead of SCARRING people’s hearts, you can WARM people’s hearts! Also, remember to be kind to all, and not even just to disabled people. Invite someone to sit next to you at church, or say something kind to someone who is sad! Make sure to keep up to date on my mom’s blog and have a great rest of your day!

  1. Great job, Hannah! A kind word can go a long way. Always warm a heart, never scar one.

  2. Beautifully said, Hannah! A kind word or gesture at the right time can last a lifetime in someone’s heart — a much nicer legacy to leave than a scar.
