Immaculately written. Relentlessly attending to kindness, love, & friendship is a worthy endeavor in and of itself -- and also, a way to actually achieve more loving & kind outcomes. Thank you for writing 🤍
A beautiful write up... Nothing to take away but something to add.
Sometimes, you might be so ill fated your open palm gestures and positivity will be directed at an inherently evil person where all roads lead to hell for you.
In situations like these, discernment for you is key or you perish.
And yes, discernment is the other side of kindness, perhaps. The way I see it is that blind kindness is something lesser than kindness because it doesn't take into consideration the needs of the subject you're directing kindness at. There are times when different actions—some that don't seem kind at face value—are actually tough love.
True kindness is so aware of its subject that it will use discernment to adjust what kindness means for them.
