I wonder what it is about human nature that there are times when kindness seems simply to not be an option as we interact with one another. I truly belive that most people work diligently to act in a compassionate and kind manner at all times and I know that we all fail. Yet, it does seems there are others who don’t seem to work very hard at it at all and for whom kindness seems almost an act of self-sacrifice.
What is gained by hurting someone else when we are hurt ourselves? Where is the ROI in this behavior? Is there a belief that we can pass our anger, hurt, humiliation, whatever off to another person by placing it there?
I seek kindness. I strive to be kind. It seems so simple and is so incredibly difficult.
