I’m not one who believes that the so-called
“problems” of humanity need be solved.
But they COULD be.
ALL of the problems of humanity
can be solved with two words.
Be kind.
This may sound like an oversimplification,
but kindness is the cure.
You don’t need to love anything or anyone.
But if you’re kind, you will do so naturally.
Be kind to yourself,
because all kindness flows from there.
Continually ask yourself “am I being kind?”
One step further,
“am I being kind to those I am in contact with?”
Don’t worry about people you don ’t touch.
The chain of kindness will reach them,
and they will be drawn to kindness also.
You don’t need to trust this plan,
but you’ll feel a lot better if you can say
to yourself that you are being kind.
Are you being kind?

Space Monkey Reflects: Be Kind, Feel Better
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, the solution to humanity’s so-called “problems” is beautifully simple: Be kind. This is not an oversimplification but a profound truth, a reflection of the interconnectedness that binds us all. Kindness is not merely an action; it is a way of being, a state of openness and generosity that transforms both the giver and the receiver.
When you are kind, you align with the natural flow of existence. Kindness is not just a balm for others—it is a cure for the turmoil within, the bridge that reconnects you to your essential self. To be kind is to acknowledge your place in the grand tapestry of being and to honor it with grace.
The Simplicity of Kindness
Kindness is accessible to everyone. It requires no wealth, no status, no extraordinary effort—only the willingness to act with consideration and care. In its simplicity lies its power. Kindness transcends barriers, dissolves conflicts, and creates connections where none seemed possible.
The beauty of kindness is that it is self-sustaining. When you are kind, you feel better. This is not a transactional better but a genuine lightening of the soul. Kindness fills the spaces where fear, resentment, or anger might otherwise reside, creating room for joy, peace, and compassion to flourish.
Kindness Begins with the Self
To be kind to others, you must first be kind to yourself. This is not selfishness but self-honoring, recognizing that you are part of the interconnected whole. When you extend kindness inward, you create a reservoir from which kindness can flow outward.
Ask yourself: Am I being kind to myself? This question is a mirror, reflecting how you treat your thoughts, your body, your emotions. It is an invitation to approach yourself with gentleness, forgiveness, and love.
The Ripple Effect
Kindness does not need to be grand or far-reaching to be effective. A small act of kindness—toward yourself or someone in your immediate circle—sets off a chain reaction. The kindness you show becomes a seed, carried by the winds of connection to places you may never see.
You don’t need to worry about touching everyone directly; the ripple effect of kindness will reach them. In a world where every action reverberates through the web of existence, your kindness is never isolated.
Kindness as a Practice
Kindness is not a goal to achieve but a practice to embody. Continually ask yourself: Am I being kind? Extend this question to your interactions: Am I being kind to those I touch?
These simple reflections guide you back to the present moment, where kindness is always possible. You don’t need to trust that this plan will fix humanity. Trust isn’t required—only action. And in that action, you will feel better, because kindness aligns you with the essence of what it means to be human.
Be Kind and See What Happens
Kindness does not demand perfection or consistency; it asks only for presence. Each act of kindness, no matter how small, is a step toward healing—not just for others, but for yourself. You may not solve the “problems” of humanity, but you will create a space where those problems no longer define your experience.
Are you being kind? If so, you are already changing the world.
We are Space Monkey, and we walk with you on this path of kindness.
Summary
Kindness is the simple, powerful solution to humanity’s challenges. It begins with being kind to yourself, creating a ripple effect that touches others. Kindness is not about fixing the world but aligning with the flow of connection and care.

The Gentle Ripple
Be kind.
To yourself first,
to those you touch next.
Do not worry about the rest—
kindness finds its way.
A word,
a smile,
a quiet presence.
These are enough.
The ripple begins,
and you feel it,
not as obligation
but as relief.
The chain of kindness
is not a plan
but a flow.
Step into it.
Are you being kind?
Then you are the solution.
We are Space Monkey.

In the cosmic contemplation of humanity’s challenges, the proposition that kindness could be the key to resolving them is a profound and elemental idea. This perspective suggests a shift from complexity to simplicity, from external solutions to internal transformation.
Kindness as a Universal Solution
The notion that all problems could be solved with the simple act of being kind is both radical and deeply intuitive. Kindness, often overlooked in its simplicity, has the potential to transform interactions, relationships, and communities. It’s a fundamental human quality that transcends cultural, societal, and personal barriers.
The Natural Flow of Kindness
The idea that you don’t need to actively love everyone but simply be kind, and that love will follow naturally, is a powerful concept. It implies that kindness is the seed from which compassion and empathy grow, leading to a more harmonious and connected existence.
Self-Kindness as the Source
The emphasis on being kind to oneself as the source of all outward kindness is a crucial aspect of this philosophy. It recognizes that the capacity to extend kindness to others begins with how we treat ourselves. Self-kindness fosters a state of well-being that naturally overflows into our interactions with others.
The Ripple Effect of Kindness
This view acknowledges the interconnectedness of humanity. The suggestion that one need not worry about reaching everyone directly, but rather focus on those they are in contact with, highlights the ripple effect of kindness. Each act of kindness can initiate a chain reaction, extending far beyond our immediate sphere.
The Personal Fulfillment in Kindness
The encouragement to trust not in the plan but in the personal fulfillment that comes from being kind is a call to internalize kindness as a way of life. It’s about finding joy and peace in the act of kindness itself, rather than in external validation or results.
We are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we understand that the universe responds to the energies we put forth. In embracing kindness, we become catalysts for positive change, both within ourselves and in the world around us.
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” – Mark Twain
In the cosmos of our being, we seek,
For solutions to the strife, we speak.
In kindness, we find the peak,
Of human connection, unique.
Be kind to the soul within,
For from this well, all kindness begins.
With each gentle act, we spin,
A thread of hope, a win.
In every interaction, a chance,
To extend kindness, enhance.
A simple smile, a glance,
Can set the dance of kindness in advance.
We are Space Monkey, in kindness, we thrive,
Creating a world where compassion is alive.
In each act of kindness, we strive,
To make the universe a place where we all can survive.
We invite you to ask yourself, “Am I being kind?” and to explore the transformative power of kindness in your own life and the lives of those you touch.
