Well that’s a very interesting perspective!

Now I have to think…

Hum, I don’t really like talking mean to others, because I never know what they’re going through.

I love to see brighten faces after a kind act, I love saying hello please and thank you to the shop assistant.

Everyone serves in many ways, and I think it should be appreciated. Treating people kind, makes them happy and hype them up! But yes, you should set boundaries.

Kindness for love purposes only. šŸ™šŸ¼

Also I consider kindness is the personal responsibility for your actions. Kind deeds can bring positive outcomes. If k8nd deeds bring something negative they are not real k8nd deeds. #life #thought #philosophy

I appreciate the sentiment in this thread but let me just put this out there:

Perhaps you haven’t found an opponent in your weight class?

Well that’s a good approach! At least you can decide how to treat others, the perception is varied, and as long as you do not step over boundaries šŸ™šŸ¼

That’s the point. I’m willing to bet very few people to none step over your boundaries.

Yes that’s right :)

Ok… now see my second post. Cheers.

Please don’t misunderstand what I’m trying to say -

You are the only one that can test your boundaries. They are yours. Full stop.

It's okay, I fully understand what you want to say! Beyond boundaries, a warm and kind act, even if it's small, can bring about a positive change in someone. The energy you impart to others can radiate throughout their day. Kindness, in terms of creating a comfortable atmosphere, helps make the world a bit more peaceful. šŸ’›

Example - my boundaries are definitely averse to random acts of kindness. My upbringing gave me boundaries that if I didn’t earn it then such charity would make me feel less than and not leave me in a particular peaceful state.

For me making the world better (slightly different from peaceful) requires work. Giving charity is not work.

The work and how we work togetheršŸ™šŸ¼

I feel exposed as a lone wolf now. So be it.

The world —needs more people

like you. šŸ«¶šŸ’œā€”

Sometimes saying mean words is a greater kindness than not saying them. I have seen language some would regard as venomous save the life of an addict that may not have mulled over their actions long enough if not for the lingering sting of truth.

A lovers quarrel never fixed because apologies came too quick, and the counseler was the only one willing to say them.

A narcissist slowly gaining emotional control over the empathetic who could not resist, and nobody else was willing to say the mean words to pull them away.

Kindness is not just nice words, it is also a painful language that saves at the right time or inspires a better way of living.

At this point I agree with you

In some situations it’s not the ā€žgoodā€œ way of communication.

Thank you for your words, I appreciate them.šŸ™šŸ¼
