If a thing travels far and efficiently through the air then it’s called “aerodynamic.” If it travels far and efficiently through water then it’s called “hydrodynamic.” Is there a word for something that travels far and efficiently through time? Would that be “temperodynamic”? Because if that’s the word for it then kindness is that. An act of kindness now just carries forward through the days and years ahead. People don’t forget it. It stays with them, moving right alongside them and influencing moments big and small. It’s like Maya Angelou said: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” So who has been the kindest to you in your life? And how has that kindness influenced your life?
