Art of Kindness

I bet the word kindness is best documented in what the majority refer to as the bible. If you missed it there, then your Christian religious education(CRE) teacher never missed emphasizing it in one of those lessons about the fruits of the holy spirit.

As far as I know, we live in times where savage is the most applauded and most adored version of a human, while kindness is mistaken for ‘simping’. For clarity, Savage is the other definition of masking yourself with the don’t care attitude.

The fact that no one can tell you care or your actions are not close to sympathy or selflessness the more attractive you become to most eyes. I don’t know how we got to this point but what I know for sure is that generosity is the best gift you would ever offer.

I have heard of the word love being emphasized. From every angle of a conversation either in the spiritual side, relationship, family talks, or friendships sometimes I am left puzzled. Is it love or loyalty that is coated as love?

Sadly, we don’t want to hear this, majority survive on loyalty. It’s easier, with no attachment. The last time I checked a great number discern attachments. Why? love confines you to your most vulnerable side, which is the hardest pill to swallow. At the end of the day, no one wants to be seen on their sentimental side. While loyalty is gained out of fear which is most times assumed as respect, something most of us crave for.

Kindness is a rare gift. It may come out as the easiest act but it has a package that you have to be more than willing to embrace.

Kindness involves the following:

Love

The most popular emphasized way of showing and owning love has been romantic love. which has failed in so many aspects. You can’t begin loving someone romantically if you don’t love them first as a human. Quite impossible, the results will be seen from how you treat them when you no longer feel the attraction when they no longer excite you.

Loving someone as a human is most times referred to as agape love. it unconditional. The best way to define this is a mother’s love. the love is purely genuine. It involves forgiveness, accepting flaws, and moving forward. It’s never the easiest, no one is ever born this way but for the sake of your sanity and happiness, it's key.

I am a strong believer in goodness; I get it from the accounts of the bible. Which clearly states, love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Truth be told, some of us don’t love ourselves. Definitely have nothing to share as love. how can you give what you don’t have?

I say love is how you treat others even when you don’t know who they are. We live in a society you are appreciated and not loved which is served by conditions. Either the title you carry, what you do, or what can you offer. A funny way of looking at things but what do we say it is what it is. Perceptions are different. The great question is how do we want to see the world? This should always remind you of how you act and what you say and how you say them.

Generosity

The act of being on the giving end is not always the best position. No one absolutely no one likes this spot but what good are we doing if we all want to be at the receiving end.

I was reading a book by the name ‘The Spiritual Laws of Success’ the law of giving is one of the laws we most times ignore but it’s the law that resonates with the law of karma and the law of least effort.

If you have something you can share or it's more than enough it will make more sense if it is shared. It completes the cycle of nature. If you keep holding you block the end of receiving. One reason most people who give, they never lack.

Intentions

Motives seem like the smallest word that we hear in crimes, courtrooms, and when judging a case. It’s the reason behind what you do and how you do something that carries the weight of the consequences. Give without expectations. do it because there was a need you wanted to fulfill.

We live, we laugh, and we love at the end of the day it’s who we are from inside that matters. It defines our true identity.

 

Hope to see a better world!
