tough as bricks

My sister got home from the hospital, after being there all day and I asked her how it was and she replied "good." I asked my mom and she said that it was one of the hardest days for her yet. 

She is only four and has already learned that it is more "acceptable" to say you're good. 

You're always "good"

If I ask someone how they are, I genuinely want to know how their day has been. I don't want the generated answer of "good". 

Why is it that we all learn to do this? and at such a young age.

We are not a caring world. No matter how hard you try to care for others, one person is not going to make the difference for the entire world. 

"From caring comes courage."     

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."        

"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love."

"The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else."

We don't need to hide how we feel all of the time. 

We don't need to be "tough as bricks"

We don't need to be "good" everyday.

We can have ups and downs,

We need to have ups and downs.

We aren't as tough as bricks.

We aren't as tough as bricks.
