Ripple Effect

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.  Mother Teresa

Today's quote makes me think of the ripples caused in the water when something hits it. The ripples go on and on.  Just like kind words.  They are one of the easiest things to "throw" at people and have a ripple effect in their lives.  And it seems to me that the ripple effect of kind words also acts as a boomerang, it comes back at us usually.
Kind words are easier to speak than unkind ones.  Unkind words take effort to think up and speak out.    What are you "throwing" at others - even if you have differences of opinion, beliefs, etc?  If you "throw" unkind words you might have noticed that they drop down like dead weight and a plunk.  But if you "throw" kind words you will notice the ripple effect that spreads over the surface and depths of the other person's life.  What kind of ripple effect, if any, do you cause in the lives of others?
