Everything starts from a small, invisible gap.

When we shout or grumble, a small gap is created.
And if we just be a little kinder to each other, something good happens.
Words once spoken cannot be taken back, and even if you didn't mean to, you might end up hurting your friend's feelings.
That small gap will widen further and we will all be left alone.
And words of encouragement, kindness, and warm consideration grow and flourish, spreading love everywhere.
When we care for one another, the tree will grow bigger and bigger, feeding on our friendship with love and kindness.


The gap created by bad words grows wider and wider,
What happens when kindness grows?

It all starts from a small, invisible gap.
It clearly shows how the situation gradually changes by comparing the situation that occurs when you say bad words to the situation that occurs when you say good words.


A small gap created by a bad heart gradually widens, darkening the surroundings and isolating everyone.
On the other hand, a small gap born from a good heart feeds on love and friendship and grows into a large tree that allows people to lean on each other.


The power of positivity reaches out to isolated friends, brightens the dark world, and shares love and kindness so that we can support one another.
Always a moving storyteller, Britta Teckentrup has created a thought-provoking tale this time.
The author says that it is not difficult to reach out and approach first.
I hope this will be an opportunity to think again about how our surroundings and situations change because of the words we speak.
