I have long travelled through time and space... long been fascinated by the human race. For millennia I have been alive; immortal - not some hazy cosmic jive. Now my celestial journeys are coming to an end, so I have a final message that I would like to send; a message I wish to plant in every human's mind, and the message is real simple: Just be kind. It's such an easy message, it should not blow your minds. Your potential will be reached if you will just be kind. You have the moral compass, have knowledge and are well-versed. You are always at your best when things are at their worst. Learn this lesson well and in your hearts you'll find that any problem can be overcome if you will just be kind. You are always at your best when things are at their worst, but all problems are overcome if you put each other first. I have travelled through time and space, through light years, many miles, to tell you not to blow it 'cause I think it's all worthwhile. I tell you not to blow it 'cause I know it's all worthwhile. Love is when you care for someone more than you. Learn to love each other and know I love you too. Please learn my message; pass it on and you'll find your world will be so much better if you will just be kind.
