Kittieme reminds you to be kind and respectful to everyone.

You are special. Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you've gone through - you have worth. Don't forget it.

Everybody is different. We all come from certain backgrounds; have our limitations, and our difficulties. Either way, we all have purpose here on Earth and deserve to be treated humanely. None of us like to feel secluded or left out, and we should try as hard as we can to be kind. It isn't too much to ask for, and can really make a difference. It would surprise you what someone deals with or how much they have on their plate, but often we don't take the time to consider this. I know I am guilty of not having as much empathy as I could, and sometimes I regret the things I do or say because of it.

I particularly have respect for the authors who can relay such a serious message through something as simple as children's stories, like Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", sometimes simply referred to as "Alice in Wonderland".
