I Am Honest

To Hell With Kindness?

Have you ever experienced any situation which made you think maybe you're too kind?
Maybe you're that person who always looks out for others, concern about them. Whenever your friends are feeling down and sad, you are there for them. Putting whatever you're doing aside just to help out a friend. Hmm sounds familiar?

And what about when you're happy and want to share it or down and need someone to talk to? Do they put in the same amount of a good friend effort?

Then I ask myself do it really worth being kind to these type of friends? Can't help it, I guess kindness is in my blood.

I would like to read some more stories or receive some comments on this subject.
What did you do, when you realized that you have given more than you received?

    We portray kindness because it's who we are. I've done something nice for someone and they did nothing for me. So what did I do? I showed them even more kindness. I learned to not expect kindness from others from what I do. But that won't stop me, because it feels good to help others, the reward is your self-satisfaction. But if it's a huuuuuuge douche, then I wont help them for crap lol.

    The topic makes me think of a number in the musical "Camelot" titled "Fi on Goodness Fi". But seriously I think we need to define kindness. We have the obligation not to enable anothers destructive behavior. I find with age I am more focused on recognizing actual needs rather than just trying to look for opportunities to be helpful. That way satisfaction can come from a fulfillment of purpose rather than any recognition or appreciation which might not come. We can just be who we are with out needing to find a validation of our identity via a positive feedback from others.
