On Being Kind...
Lately I've been struggling with my disdain for most people. It bothers me that I am having such a hard time liking other people in society; outside of my friends, family, and coworkers and that is already a small group. There has to be a reason I am feeling this way, right?! So I took some time to think about why I am feeling this way... I pondered on some questions... Why am I finding it so hard to like the rest of society? I am a genuinely nice person. I lend a helping hand when I can. I work hard. For the most part I follow the rules. But I will admit I bend them every now and then... So let me elaborate. The other day I was walking along the street after just getting my coffee and breakfast. I passed a gentleman walking in the opposite direction, I gave him a smile (as I do to every person I pass). He simply just kept on walking with a smug face. Wow, kind of soul crushing. Is this how we want to treat other people who are being kind to us? No wonde...
