Just a small list of the many, objective reasons why it makes more sense to be kind than anything else:
1. It creates a better world around you. A world you will need to live in for the rest of your life, whether you like it or not.
2. It rejuvenates people's perspective on the quality of humanity around them, also creating a better world for you to live in. It also will rejuvenate your own perspective on humanity.
3. It helps people tremendously and, when you help them first, they will almost always be more than happy to help you in return another time. It creates more balanced relationships that do not involve money or ego.
4. It takes the exact same amount of energy (or less) to be kind than to not be.
5. Being kind is always going to be a healthier way to live than to be the opposite.
6. Because kids are always watching us adults and imitating us. We want them to imitate kindness, not the opposite.
7. It will always give you stronger friendships and relationships around you that actually love you for you... And nothing else.
8. People love to share stories and information with those that are kind to them. This creates a much more interesting way to live in the world, always being surrounded by people we can learn from.
9. It will always remind you that the world DOES care about you and will be there for you, when you need them.
10. It's the easiest thing you can possibly do.
The only reason you wouldn't be kind is because you still have shit you have to heal from. And there's no problem with that at all - But please do your healing so we can all make this world a better place.
Love you all.
