Kind

Let's be kind

Let's become kind

I hear it often

And I use it often myself

Of course, it is important

And passing that on

I think is also important

However...

Inside me

There is something fuzzy

That I feel just a little bit

****

Let's be kind

Let's become kind

Who is this directed at?

Yourself?

The other person?

Both?

Everyone?

Let's become kind

Let's be kind

These words

If you look at it from a slightly different perspective

The way things should be

The message being requested

It could also be interpreted as...

Let's try to be kind!

Light

Peer pressure of kindness...

I wouldn't go that far, but

Trying too hard to be kind

Pushing yourself to be kind

Wearing armor made of kindness

Are you ending up acting that way?

I sometimes get a little worried...

It is

a good deed, a good person,

being expected to be the way one should be,

and as if

fitting oneself into that mold...

And, without realizing it,

the purpose shifts

to satisfying that person's need for approval...

The more one does it,

the more one finds it impossible

to accept those who do not...

Rather,

it is becoming unkind...

That is how I sometimes feel.

A kind person

Let's be kind

Let's be a good person

Do good things

Bound by those words

Because I impose them on myself

What is a good person?

What is a kind person?

To me

Doing the obvious things

In an obvious way

Is all I can think it means

And

you don't have to be a good person all the time,

or a kind person all the time...

it's not necessary...

when it is necessary,

being able to do what is necessary

that is what I think.

***

In the relationship with yourself,

someone might not be kind to you.

Is a certain person an unkind person?

However,

among those around that certain person,

I think there are also people whom that person treats kindly.

Is a certain person a kind person?

Is a person who is not kind to you

truly an unkind person?

I think they are kind somewhere.

They just didn't get along well with you.

Each person possesses

a balance of functions that has simply gone off.

That might continue for a long time, but

at some point,

it might change again.

For each person, the direction and scope of their kindness differ.

It may depend on their role or position,

the tolerance they possess,

or the capabilities they have.

It also varies depending on their state at the time.

The kindness I possess and

the kindness the other person possesses

differ in both quantity and quality.

The kindness we should offer is

to acknowledge the dignity of the other person.

Whether they accept it by saying yes,

or decline it by saying no,

that person has the right to choose and assert that.

And, in the same way,

you have that same right yourself!

It is to acknowledge your own dignity!

Things that are different from us

are difficult to accept

our hearts are shaken

and we feel bewildered

feeling that our own safety is threatened

each of us

is acting to protect ourselves

at that time

denying,

excluding,

or shutting ourselves away in a shell

That it is becoming easier

to erase one's existence

in this world, I feel.

Individual respect and diversity are talked about, but

communities can become totalitarian

and I see and hear things that are exclusionary.

When I feel such things,

I feel sad...

However,

people are basically all

kind

wanting to be good people

wanting to be liked by others

I think

there is no one who is not kind

it is just that the direction of their kindness is a little different

and that applies to me as well

because the kindness I imagine

and the kindness the other person imagines are a little different

we are just confused

accepting things that are different from oneself

this is very difficult

that is precisely why

being able to accept things that are different

is truly wonderful

and is a very kind thing to do

A tolerant heart✨

I think that is true kindness

Let's be kind

Let's become kind

Those words are

Of course good

However

A little more specifically!

Let's have a tolerant heart!

Let's acknowledge the other person's dignity!

Let's imagine the other person's background!

Let's open the eyes of our hearts!

Unless the person themselves realizes it

and unless the person themselves tries to change,

there are things that cannot change.

To accept that person's way of being

just as it is

is to accept them.

What I can do is,

to notice the state of myself and the other person at that moment,

and simply to re-evaluate myself and take action.

~Reflecting on my thoughts~

The kindness I think of is "tolerance"
By forgiving and being forgiven, tension eases, and the heart is unraveled
Warm kindness dwells in the heart

I have always wanted to write an article about this someday...

I am grateful to have been able to write down my thoughts✨

I also talk about communication in this article.
