acknowledging reality isn’t shitty. it is very taxing to put kindness forward and it often leaves us disadvantaged or taken advantage of. i cannot fault others for not walking the same steps as someone who tries to push kindness. it’s not an easy burden

I’m not even saying you should be kind at your own expense. Obviously don’t let yourself be taken advantage of. But treating kindness as a strategic tool for self benefit seems wrong

OP 7w

being kind is always at your own expense. yeah, i don’t think you should only be kind when you see a blatant advantage in doing so. but you also definitely should be in that situation. you and i believe we should be kind just because. but i believe you should especially be kind if it means it might open a few doors

taking a chance on someone. sure saying good morning to someone isn’t inherently risky. but trusting them? that’s a kindness. letting them know you? a kindness. getting into relationships, doing business, being reliable. those are acts of kindness. and are parts of a society lots of people want. but there’s plenty of people out there content to let everyone else “behave”/be kind and just reap what they can scrape from it

Nobody is asking you to do all that. XD I am just saying the little things matter. Say hi to someone you don’t know. Complement someone’s outfit. Say good morning to your neighbors. Treating kindness as a risk is kind of sad honestly

No one is asking you to be Christ… You’re over thinking being a “kind person”.

i don’t believe you’re being a genuinely kind person if you aren’t willing to fully extend it beyond what i’m going to call societal politeness. anyone can say good morning but how are you responding when a friend asks you to help move. when you see a stranger with a blown tire on the side of the road. when you brother needs a ride to the airport at 6am.

Again, you’re overthinking it.
