    1-8        WHEREAS, Common to each of us is a desire to leave the world
    1-9  a better place for having lived in it; Kindness Week addresses that

   1-11  world; and
   1-12        WHEREAS, Inspired by the movie Schindler's List and the book

   1-14  the men and women of Dallas Acts Kind; and
   1-15        WHEREAS, This particular group feels that the world has
   1-16  become the sort of place where individual efforts to act with
   1-17  charity toward one another have become necessary in order for
   1-18  society to survive; and
   1-19        WHEREAS, Since the world has become so violent, there is a
   1-20  real need for people to make an effort to stop the violence; one
   1-21  solution is to initiate such activities as Kindness Week; and
   1-22        WHEREAS, Kindness Week is intended to witness, to celebrate,
   1-23  and to promote the value and spirit of kindness; it asks each
   1-24  citizen to commit random, but purposeful, acts of kindness; now,
    2-1  therefore, be it
    2-2        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the  74th
    2-3  Texas Legislature hereby recognize and commend the sponsors of
