What is kindness?

A lot of time we don't practice kindess as much as we should. And sometimes kindness can be a small gesture. In fact, those are the best kind. Which goes to prove that you don't have to/should not have to think about being kind :)

I know what kindness isn't....

Why are people mean?

People are mean for multiple reasons....As people we are born with emotions, emotions we sometimes have no control over, and emotions when we do control them, still isn't exactly the type of control that is respectful to other people. In other words, we may think we have it in control, but in reality, we hurt people around us. People who make fun of people and mock and put others down, are insecure human beings. Scenario: Think of the happiest person you have ever met/not met/know. Think about their smile, think about their actions towards others. Are they mean? And if they are mean, is there happiness just an illusion? Well- if they are kind and they are happy. Well you better keep that person around. Kind people have no reason to bully other people. What good does that do? kind people like to see others happy because they are happy and wish for others to feel sucha feeling of happiness. And so it makes sense, see? People who are not very nice, wish to see others hurt, and feel the way they do, to lift them up.

There are so many reasons to why they are mean. Or how they become this way. Not to say that they were always mean. in fact, they may not even realise they are being mean. They may be sarcastic individuals. But even with sarcasm, there is an air of bitterness at times. My mama says "If not everybody is laughing, it's not fun for all." so if you make a joke and you leave someone feeling sad, it wasn't really funny now was it? even typing this hurts my heart. I don't know why people treat people the way they do. Its saddening! But!!! I am not hopeless at all! i am hopeful, so very hopeful. Because I know that there are people who are caring, compassionate, giving, open minded, loving, passionate....I know them. And they are my friends and family.
