KINDNESS AND. THE ESSENCE OF IT...........

 Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate....but how kind do you really think you are?... isn't it surprising that answers might vary from person to person because if you ask someone else how kind they think you are their rating might be surprisingly lower than what u would have expected
   However kindness is the act or the state of being kind, being marked by good and charitable behavior, pleasant disposition, and concern for others. It is known as a virtue, and recognized as a value in many cultures and religions . experience has shown that acts of kindness does not only benefit receivers of the kind act, but also the giver with feelings of contentment and relaxation when such acts are committed
   According to Aristotle kindness simply means "helpfulness towards some one in need, not in return for anything, nor for the advantage of the helper himself, but for that of the person helped"
  So therefore how kind are we really as we all unconciously or even at times conciously perform certain acts of kindness to get something in return from the person immediately or in the nearest future ....
   Kindness actually starts from deep down. It’s about being true to our own feelings and values, and expressing this to other people so our feelings and values get an airing, and so those people know where they stand with us.
If we’re not acting in a way that is kind to ourselves, we will not be acting in a way that is kind towards other people.
 Kindness isn’t lending someone money when you know they’re going to spend it on drugs, alcohol,women or rack up more debt.
Kindness is telling them you’re not going to lend them money and doing what you reasonably can to support them through their journey.
  Kindness is accepting where other people are, and not trying to change them
  Kindness is acting without expectation of reciprocity or recognition (although there’s nothing wrong with enjoying it). Kindness is an anonymous donation, it’s a surprise email with no expectation of a reply
  Kindness is a religion as the dalai lama of india once said that "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." So how compassionate are you really toward the plight of your fellow human being....
    My philosophy in life has always been " Not to lend something I cannot give away" that is if I am lending u something it means I could have given it to you.............
   In conclusion Analysts warn that 'real kindness changes people in the doing of it, often in unpredictable ways. Real kindness is an exchange with essentially no return
And also , in a relationship, 'real kindness, real feelings, entails hating and being hated that is, really feeling available frustrations and through this coming to a more real relationship...... But hey!! Its just my opinion
              So how Kind are you really?
                          
                     So If u ve learnt anything at all start being kind here by leaving your commment
