Bro

I must confess, today's Thought is on the humorous side. If anyone's familiar, the gentleman in the bowtie is none other than Bill Nye, the science guy. Awesomely enough, he's actually a well respected scientist. But onto the meat of tonights Thought. How many times have you said a question to this effect? I think the classic one is "Bro, you mad?" While most of these are meant to be humorous, the fact that you are asking someone a question in the context of being a brother (bro) shows a level of care and concern for another's welfare.

Do you care for your fellow human being? I think a lot of us care much more than we care to admit, even going so far as to camouflage this caring under the guise of a humorous questions. This has gone on far too long. Don't be afraid to show just how much you care. Instead of "Hey Bro, you mad?" let's try for a little more of "Hey Bro, how can I help you?" It's a basic human emotion to want to belong. Don't be afraid to show someone that they indeed belong to you. Don't be afraid to show you care.
