The 21-Day Kindness Challenge launched on September 11th. 98 countries. 6000 people. And a collective tidal wave of good that inspired many -- including young rapper-activist "Nimo" Patel at the Gandhi Ashram in India. Nimo wasted no time channeling that inspiration into an infectious music video. "Being Kind" was created on super short notice by an intercontinental crew of volunteers working out of their living rooms. It features footage from all over the world and heart-melting appearances by the children Nimo works with in the slums. Watch, listen, and prepare to smile big at this lyrical reminder that kindness really is "all we can leave behind."

    I am working among the IRULAR tribal Children in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka states. By watching this well documented video, touches my heart and emotions, as I see that many young people are happy to be part of your Being Kind Movement. Yes the world can really moveforward if there is unconditional KINDNESS and LOVE. All the best NIMO and team.

    sorry But Gandhi was a British Stooge and a traitor to India- He allowed Hindus to be looted and assaulted by the Muslims. was responsible for the Partition and made Nehru the PM (was not elected by the people)- whose clan destroyed India further for 67 years!! This is the truth that the media does not talk about.

    Just the tittle drew me... then the words and of course the video both touched my heart. It is my wish in this sometimes harsh world we live in that everyone try a little harder to pay the acts of kindness forward to everyone regardless of their circumstances.

    I didn't watch it - but I believe the comments. I believe in the person who made it. And in people who think using YouTube (which makes much more money than us - millions profit in a month) will benefit people. They could end problems if they wanted - don't believe anything else. I know and you already know people take advantage and even need the negative to make news, reaction etc. Why make a system that listens to people's feelings and is straight with us (where is the money or profit in that good - no way! Would be against business). I didn't watch it because mainly it's on YouTube (it separates us and the business people, for profit and not-for-profit) - so trying to win using their model isn't going to help or we simply don't need it any more and actually WE NEED OTHER WAYS to grow out of the monetising methods (i.e. we non-DIY ways, not used by using big corps and not just looking at the money first all the time!). Just saying, no offence to creators in the system... hope the logic makes sense... imagine seeing literally 1000's of these things... people's creations taken free and monetised... (since a long time too right from electricity Tesla didn't want to 'sell') and now realising we feed the machine(S) that learn with us and then go against us... unfortunately. Many blogs and group out there, but we're alone because I admit it's boring at freeschool.0id.org or any other blog or thing that doesn't have support or big sponsors or a bit of money or donation to play with and make a song and dance. It's like a dead village and that's why people go to the city (and then protest!). Mainly I was born on superficial finances my parents that they thought they had and could 'raise a child well' - wrong move in hindsight. (we as generations are now trying to fight against systemic bad environments after we the children realise about the banks, mortgages etc if we're already not in the same mess!). Our existence (or maybe just mine only) is against the system and is the paradox of 'living' in that 'capitalist' using/abusing system and how we live and grow our seeds by it is the basis for the paradoxes. - to go against is SUICIDE. And therefore not wanting to exist in that system is like asking to be eliminated or treated as a threat (anything non-business orientated). Sure killing yourself is a sure way of instantly balancing that paradox to actually solving what was wrongly calculated in the first place (but also I can't say I'm brave enough to do such a thing,though given a sleeping pill I would go to the forest and put back the energy once taken knowing it's still a small offering). Hopefully you get what I mean about the paradox of YouTube(s) and all those things, and the equalisation balance we're in (or not in), it never balances, just more % / profit on top of a % which gets stored in a bank somewhere - they who choose profit are almost all part of the problem (sorry, I blame non-profit individuals less as they do less damage) and some people are not even trying to balance it any other way because money first right? And then being the change...) Enjoy consuming the video... and my few thoughts - I did think about the correctness but feel once in a while a comment too balances thoughts after the initial eye candy or musical entertainment medium. More because if systemically part of 100's of 1000's, 24hrs of video uploaded per 3mins or something crazy. I think we need to re-think what we're doing / clicking... it also became an easy habit (you could be doing something that isn't done yet 1000 million, trillion, times a second). Playing energy intensive mediums. I hope this text is a small example (text might still be ok once we accept and understand energy and how it kills) *I appreciate* there is too much to read and watch out ttere... and maybe and WATCHING videos and music is A LOT EASIER. But even that take more energy (people's life force)... all this energy is like watching people die and EARTH dying - I know it's a strong way of seeing it, but is it not logically and emotionally true for you having resources sucked for such eye candy(s)? Reply's welcome... palm@riseup.net (I'm not working for anyone else but me). And I think you should do as part of regenerating a less intensive system. (maybe I'll make a video about it one day...)

    cuesta muy poco ser amable y dando a los más necesitados de afecto,cariño y cosas que necesitan de inmediato. Siempre que puedo lo hago, llevando hasta comida al necesitado discretamente..

    It inspires me, personally. However, I am a public school teacher and I am unable to teach about God in school, other than mentioning that some people believe in God and some do not. I'll have to ask my principal if I can play this in a first grade classroom.

    THANK YOU!!!! I just love it - I felt inspired, am sitting with the smile that I saw shining of the people's faces - kindness, that shows as how connected we could be, that makes us reach out and offer a hand, a smile, an act. THANK YOU - I love the song with which you made my heart smile.

    I have started a movement on my FB page called #justbenice and everyday I try to find something inspirational to put out there to let people know that kindness is the best thing we can offer the world. I found this website and will look at it everyday. I have decided to start a campaign at a local store to buy school supplies for poor kids. As people buy supplies for their own kiddos, they can offer to supply a child in need. With little changes and acts, we can make our world so much better.

    Lalita

    I just loved everything about this video and shared it on my FB time line. The only thing I disagree with is the line above that says "kindness really is "all we can leave" Kindness never leaves you. Like compassion, kindness is you. Without a you and me where would kindness be?

    I am an advocate for "Random Acts Of Kindness". Our world is so filled with sorrow, anger, hatred, lonliness and fear....we need more love, joy and kindness. One small act of kindness can change someone's life. Being kind to others...feels so amazing! The video sends a powerful message of this!

    Everyone deserves a second chance this group gives these individuals that chance as we as that family they so were looking for. Not to mention a career direction. Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of the money going to the military go to things like this project.

    Pat Chrosniak

    On my office door, I have a picture that I took of a poster at the University of Saskatchewan, created by a student. It says, "Every act of kindness creates a ripple with no logical end." (Scott Adams) I have realized that kindness takes much courage, at times. This video and song show that there is a need for tenderness, too.

    Ashe. May this be so. Thank you for touching our senses with your creativity...and bringing more light to this powerful message. I have walked and talked this message for years. I feel everything! Here something to share from my journey...when there is someone that is not in alignment with kindness...empathize. Do not let their space become yours. Bring them some light to help them see what you see. Perhaps their darkness is so deep that they are not able to even find their way. Step up to the plate and give it your best shot. Be brave and use what you KNOW. Share where you have worked so hard to get to and allow that energy to permiate your walk. See the opportunities to use your kind heart and amplify your energy by giving. Ashe. with love

    Watching this video and hearing to the lyrics made me want to spread love around, what simple acts can do in the life of others. A smile, a little heart beating, a hope for better world just by being kind to the others. It shows also how much we can all do in our daily life. Thank you. It is beautiful.

    Nimo and so many others, are sowing the seeds of love and kindness by worshiping God within humanity. Many religious leaders can preach from a pulpit or chair and we are grateful. In addition to religious leaders in religious paths Nimo shows us the mission hearts of the individuals who in action show love and kindness within all. I pray Nimo and all like minded and like hearted to Nimo spread the love of kindness and make the world a better place by being the change they want to see and not preaching the change they want to see. With God's grace as the water I pray Nimo and all sow seeds of kindness and mission making the whole world there own through light and love.

    So lovely,If we all pass this on then maybe ! more lovely and kind people will become. I feel grateful that I can now smile and talk with anyone, as I now do. when I was young I was almost dumb with shyness, felt worthless. So even if people don't smile back, it may be because they are too shy or feel unworthy of your smile you are giving them.We live in such a busy hard world, we all need to slow down and look around,there are so many lonely people, just to stop and just say a few words, can not only make their day a bright happy one but can make yours too.x
