Kindness Is the Bravest Choice One Can Make
Are you kind?
"Just as darkness cannot drive away from the darkness, so hatred cannot overcome hatred. This can only be done with love ", Martin Luther King jr.
Choosing the easiest path in time can be quite exhausting. Therefore, when your anger breaks or you are offended, wait a few seconds before responding. Find a reason to be above that. Find a way to resolve the conflict with love, because hatred will only get worse.
Of course, no one should be considered garbage. Otherwise, you only allow those horrible people to continue to mock you with impunity. But kindness is not about allowing yourself to be used, but about your attitude toward others.
I'm not sure when I understood what it means to be good, but inside I considered myself rubbish for many years. And I allowed myself to be told this to the people I loved with all my heart. These words always upset me, but I didn't know how to react to them, because I felt it was true.
I always amazed people with my conflict resolution style - I didn't freeze, I didn't hate and I didn't throw fuel on the fire. I was simply moving away from the situation and listening to the swearing-in in my direction.
I mean, good people are not just good people. This is a solution
concentrated. It is a difficult, painful and tiring choice, but on a personal level, it brings a huge reward.
Since I live to care for and love people, I suffer a lot after the relationship falls apart. Usually, I find myself constantly with those who have been rejected, abandoned, or used. Along with the broken or downed ones. But people don't understand one thing: I'm not garbage. I'm a brave man. My actions are intentional. I'm also strong.
Sometimes I'm the only one trying to love someone. Even if I let it hurt, I'm ready to show people how real love is anyway. Usually, those around me make me suffer because they do not think they are worthy of love. It takes you away to feel safe again, but with the help of your respect and love, even at a distance, you can make them realize their worth.
As for me, love cannot be called love if it depends on another person's attitude towards you. I respect people, who are worthy of love and respect, and it doesn't matter what they did or how much pain they brought me.
This does not mean that I have to satisfy all their needs or do my best for them. And that doesn't mean I have to endure toxic people in my life. No, that means leaving without a word.
The choice of kindness, maturity, and love makes me myself. And choosing such things in times of distress is much more difficult than attacking someone or taking revenge.
We instinctively try to hurt people as much as they hurt us. Man is not accustomed to forgiving and leaving.
Choosing love in response to hatred, contempt, and pain is incredibly difficult. But how does this make me weak?
Why do you view the revenge or humiliation of your interlocutor during an argument as a force that helps you feel better? Does the negative development of a conflict situation somehow prove your superiority or justice? If you are right, then there is no need to prove it. Someone may splash mud on your back, but you know who you are, like everyone who loves you.
The moment you become an adult, there is almost no goodness left in you. Kindness is not a character trait that you can develop in yourself for fun. It is a lifestyle that you must consciously choose every day.
Kindness will bring you frustration, anger, and even inner emptiness. But you choose it because the world needs balance and there is already enough hatred around it. You choose it because it fills your soul. Because you know how it feels to get the opposite. You choose kindness because you love trials.
I have every reason in this world to love people, even despite rejection and pain. And I have every reason to be kind, despite the circumstances.
