Re: Just Be Kind !!!
Its built in me to be a kind person, it comes without thinking. My mother was a very kind, generous, soft and gentle woman, I have inherited my mother's traits and im glad I have. My dad is the same.If I do a mean thing I feel bad even if its deserved lol

Re: Just Be Kind !!!
I have always tried to be kind. After all it costs nothing and it takes far less effort than being unkind. But having said that, there was that one time a couple of years ago when I saw three teenagers throwing stones at ducks on a lake...three very wet and upset teenagers..I was unkind but also very satisfied.

...or sometimes all the pressure that has built up over a career of "professional niceness" gets released and they become insufferable for a while...just a theory.NOT talking about anybody here.

This encourages the children to consider kindness and how to be kind

She then turned to my daughter and mouthed, ‘You are beautiful’!
I thought it was an odd thing for a stranger to do, so when my other daughter rang, l told her.
She said, it’s how people are now with the ‘Be Kind’ trend and are being nice to everyone. She said, it is probably more so in London where there are lots of young people.

I was actually abused by Parisiennes for this. Sometimes I will buy somebody a sandwich or a hot tea or coffee. I can afford a few dollars now and them. They have nothing. Whether they are "deserving" or not they wouldn't be begging on the street if they had a living amount of money. I have been called a "fool" and a "sucker" for doing this. I feel sorry for people that say this. Can't quite explain why. I just do. I don't want a bloody medal or a ticket to Heaven. It just feels good.

My mother was far from kind, soft and gentle and I promised myself I’d never be anything like my mom but I think I can at times be like her , which is somewhat disturbing.

For those who are consistently kind…..
What tips do you have for those of us who don’t have kindness as an automatic default?
