With the times changing, people’s values may change as well. Courage, self-confidence, being a life-long learner, even persuasiveness are just some of the qualities that are highly valued in our modern world.

This mom has recently shared a wholesome thread on Twitter that will remind you that it’s also always important to be kind and compassionate towards others.

Apparently, her 5-year-old daughter Laila was hurt deeply by something her 12-year-old brother say and he got sent to his room for his bad deeds

But Laila felt so bad for him she wanted to write him an apology letter

She felt it was an important for her little girl to know that she’s not responsible for someone else’s actions

see if this wasn't done she might grow up to always apologize to the other person when it isn't even her fault. because of this she could end up in a toxic relationship. good job mama for raising your kid right.

I'm all for compassion, but not for being a patsy. Women are too often taught that the feelings of the people around them are their responsibility and they're supposed to make everyone feel better. If you caused the hurt feelings then you should atone. If you didn't then you should have enough respect for the other person to allow them to atone. This has nothing specifically to do with gender, but it does tend to affect women more. The attitude that women exist to make everyone feel good holds both genders back. Let people be people.

It seems the little girl has something special that many adults lack in that WE as adults always want our feelings and heart to be cared for in a way that doesn't even consider the person that's hurt us. The letter may have done a work on the brothers conscience and brought about a lifelong change in his behavior therefore instilling the same compassion in him that his little sister has. Glad it all ended well for this family

I really hope that this is genuine, and not another case of "...Rebecca, she did not say that". ;) It's hard to believe a 5 year old would have such a deep understanding of compassion. If it's true, you might have a very smart child with a lot of emotional intelligence on your hands. May she grow up a strong person of pure heart who will be a shining example for the rest of us.

If I was the mom I would've let her write the letter, THEN told her no. Then I would've taken that letter and read it to the 12yr old and explained how not only was something mean said, but it made the little one feel bad in the end and that makes it even worse and if it happens again he'll be hanging upside down in the dungeon for the rats to feed on.
