Be kind until infinity runs out. | LOH Contest #105

avatar

A sparkle of light through a unique perspective as it diffuses in a visible, human spectrum, is like kindness that comes from within.

Equally, seeds being spread in the ground, suddenly dies in a hostile atmosphere when rejected.

Ladies of Hive Community Contest #105 initiated by @ifarmgirl presents an interesting discussion about a personal guiding principle or mantra.

”Do you have a personal guiding principle (or a mantra) by which you live? If you do, what is it and how is it impacting your life so far?”

Be kind until infinity runs out loudly speaks for my personal mantra in life.

In a world that often seeks for perfection, everything seems to be an illusion. Whether we like it or not, toxicity still dominates and we can do nothing about it since it is something that is beyond our control.

While most people are kind, a few often gives frequent excuses for not showing kindness based on how one was treated by others. But the key is to never ever become like the person who has once hurt us, and that revenge is another story.

Personally, I am trying to be kind every single day, but I cannot deny the fact that because of kindness, I got broke, and I was hurt so many times by people who had been overpowering me and abusing it.

However, I firmly believe that kindness is already present from within us, but the reality eloquently whispers that not everyone is very much willing to show it, for many are choosing to withhold a humble act through selfishness. If only all are selfless, life would have been a lesser complex when it comes to connections.

Kindness must be diffused everywhere like how the splendid clouds spread gracefully in the atmosphere of prosperity…

Others may have believed that kindness reflects a weakness of spirit, but on the contrary, it is a strength of the soul that makes a person resilient through taking the courage to take step towards doing good and being nice to others despite not being treated fairly.

Needless to say, kindness should have been the language of our mind and soul as we spread it like the glorious small bits of colorful papers in a confetti.

Just like a confetti, it is stuck in a medium when no single act is done to spread the colored papers whenever there is a celebration. Similarly, kindness does not spread when there is a selfishness of withholding it.

All of us does not need to be cruel to be tough. How I love kind and humble people. And I always wish to be one.

For as long as life remains, I would simply choose to be kind while showing love and care unconditionally. I believe that the real legacy is repaying every action with a pure heart through compassion despite being paid with evil.

In as far as I am concerned, no matter how little the kindness shown to others, it would always make a big difference for what matters most is the willingness to change for the better.

One simple kindness is not enough without being diffused to others. It must be spread for it is the way to true healing and serenity in life.

When we speak kind words to each other, it brings peace and unity all around the world.

No matter how complex the world may be, it needs a lot of kindness because everyone is experiencing struggles in life along with the flame of violence and evil.

Consequently, my biggest challenge is the ability to be nice to people who are not really kind to me. But nothing beats a quality when kindness becomes contagious diffusing in every hearts.

Based on personal experience, when someone becomes so cruel to me, may it be in the real world or in a virtual world, I simply ignore it and do for what is right for I always believe that there are more kind people than the rude ones, and I will never be tired of being kind even if others are not. And what is more important is forgiveness.

In addition, another encounter that others are experiencing in social media like Facebook and Twitter is lack of kindness that is very evident in the comment section reflecting arrogance, rudeness, and sarcasm to the post in a form of mocking, degrading, and life threatening.

But, I always have great hopes that kindness is the way to cure toxicity in the world. One day, rude people would just realize how cruel they had been in life.

For as long as we are humble enough to face for what is right, there is nothing to worry about for the the more we take away of pride, the more we will be blessed with good things. And that, on top of this, our well-being should be our most priority as. we have a healthy mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

In light of this, a proper regulation must exist, but I have noticed that as time passes by, there were really changes of better terms and conditions, making other social media to be safe and secured for everyone. That is why I always educate the young minds to use social
media properly.

Most importantly, to be kind is priceless. It costs nothing and it only takes a resilient heart to be nice each day. Let kindness become powerful in a vast world of nice people. So, be kind until infinity runs out, remember that.

At this moment, everyone must come to think that evil must not be paid with evil, but only with acts of kindness as it paves way for true healing.

Thus, I choose to be kind because I believe that every person I met in life is fighting a worst battle I know nothing about.


Taking everything into consideration, I warmly invite @lhes, @labanez, and @grindan to join Ladies of Hive Community Contest #105.

Kindness is one of the most beautiful trait there is and as you've mentioned, it's free and innate in us and we just have to let it out and spread wherever we go. Thank you for being the awesome you sis!

Perhaps I firmly believe that it is sis. How I wish every people I met along the way are kind, not to mentiom that when I once met you, you never failed to show kindness to me through your helping hands that helped me cross a difficult bridge back then through the HPUD and I owe you a lot because of your kindness. I always remember October 1.

But in reality, perfection is just an illusion and there is no such as what I am wishing for, but at least I believe that a beautiful trait is already innate in us, surely it would spread especially when one is treated fairly.

Thank you so much for adding your profound thoughts sis and I so appreciate your time. !LUV you always, take care, anf have a nice time.

Your outlook is both positive and compelling. The world needs more kind, compassionate people such as yourself - angels among us.😇

Good luck in the LOH Contest!

Just simply beautiful my friend 🤩 I agree- when we meet rudeness or harsh people with more of the same, we waste a valuable chance. To be kind is a gift to them, to us, and to the world. Each day I think these actions really add up! Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece 💕

We desperately need more kindness in the world ❤️

Just to share some personal experience on being kind... from a perspective of a recovery coach.

For someone who is trying to assist people to better their lives, at their own request only (of course). I've had to learn to not help or enable people if they're making unhealthy decisions for themselves.

As a codependent (which I was pretty severely until I figured out it was hurting me terribly and my rescuing came from a place of trauma and not altruism) I had to really learn, to start to work in recovery, to step back and allow people to experience the consequences of their unhealthy behaviours and decisions.

I found that I was, before I learned objectivity and balance, actually harming people in the long run by helping them to avoid their own unhealthy decisions because I was cushioning them from the consequences.

For example... I'm currently pretty broke, but just fired a client.

Although this sounds bizarre, I concluded that he wasn't serious about recovery and was pretending to work this for someone else because he'd been given an ultimatum.

When I realised this was the case I fired him.

If I'd supported him while he was intent on "managing" is addiction, instead of quitting... it would be dangerous for him. There is a good chance he will hurt himself or even die if he doesn't stop.

So I could, literally (!), have "killed him with kindness".

Instead I fired him because he needs to hit a "bottom" that is deep enough for him to want to try something new.

:)

So yes to kindness! But not if it cushions peoples' consequences and prevents their learning and progress.

Understanding this has also made it easier for me to say no to people who were out trying to take because they weren't "clear" and healthy. 👍

Thank you so much for sharing your best experiences about kindness my dear friend, @nickydee. You have a good point and I so feel your sentiments about kindness on cushioning that would prevent learning and progress. For as long as the goal is for good, then you are on the right side my friend. In fact, what you have shown is all for the love for others and I could say that you are self-less and not selfish.

I am happy to hear from you and so glad that you were able to share it today. Have a nice time my friend and be safe always.

I saw you when I read your post. 😊

You give too much at times.

And you're beautiful because of that. So take care of you, please.

You're worth it! And you need to take care of yourself first, so that you can be strong to take care of others. 💗

I only know this because you saw me too. Yep. Me too.

So in case someone hasn't made this clear to you yet... You're amazing and you deserve to be loved and cared for the way that you love and care for others.

Have a beautiful day and it was lovely to connect with you 🌸
