Kindness

“Kindness is not a weakness. Taking kindness as weakness is being ignorant.”

Many want to be kind to others so that they would be liked and validated by others. To seek external-validation by doing acts of kindness is an unhealthy way of living life. Kindness should not be based on neediness; kindness should be based on our abilities to make a difference in other people’s lives.

In order to be able to offer true kindness we must first learn to have self-empathy and self-compassion so that we could be kind to our own Self. When we know what it is to care for our Self we will then know how to truly care for others.

We shouldn’t care for others in order to feel good or to be liked; we should care for others because we “can”.
