Spiritism For Kids

Theme: Kindness and humility


Kindness, friend of humility


Traffic, at the end of the afternoon, as it is common in big cities, it was jammed.

The tired drivers were in a hurry, and the slowness of the traffic made them nervous.

Lucas was one of those drivers and he tried to get out of that situation in every possible way. Suddenly, the cars in the next lane started to move and Lucas, taking advantage of the opportunity, made a quick maneuver, changing to the other lane in order to take his car a little further.

He did not notice, however, the car that came right behind it, forcing the driver to brake quickly. The horn sound followed, and Lucas, in the rearview mirror, could see that the driver of the other car had been quite upset.

The cars were moving slowly, as the traffic light turned green and red, until Lucas and the driver of the other car stopped next to each other.

Lucas looked to the side and, realizing that the other was still very angry and even ready to curse him, he rolled down the car window and said:

– Forgive me friend, I made a mistake when moving the car in front of you. I was nervous about the traffic and made a risky maneuver. Luckily you managed to avoid crashing. I thank you and ask you to forgive me.

The other driver was surprised. He was ready for a fight. But upon realizing Lucas's humility, at the same moment he calmed down and said gently:

- All good! I understand! This traffic makes us really nervous. Let's try to take it easy going forward. The important thing is that we arrive well, right?

Lucas nodded and thanked him for his understanding.

The two remained close for some time and, after they distanced themselves, it took a little longer to reach their destinations. But the important thing is that, at least, they were not disturbed further.

After all, in traffic, or in any situation, with humility and kindness, everything gets better.
