THE POWER OF SMALL KINDNESSES

That flight changed me in a way no destination ever could. I boarded with the usual rush — tired, impatient, and ready to shut the world out. But the soft voice of the pregnant woman behind me reminded me how selfish comfort can be when it comes at someone else’s expense. Her silence spoke louder than any argument ever could.

By the time we landed, I realized that kindness isn’t weakness — it’s awareness. A single thoughtless gesture had shown me how powerful empathy can be when we choose it. Now, I travel differently. I pause, notice, and care. Because sometimes, the smallest act of consideration can lift more weight than any seat ever reclined.
