wave Hi Snook and that is so, kindness without of recompensation, peace that is rare in my book.
But since I have moved a few ladies I know in a walking club (we go group walking once a week)dancing have been so warm and friendly, even sending texy out of the blue wishing me well in my new home and if I need helppeace peace I was truly touched at this warmpth.applause applause
I agree, it is a rarity. When younger I tried approaching everyone with kindness. I got taken advantage of and my kindness ended up being exploited.

Today I am far more apprehensive and offer kindness with caveats. I will not be taken for a ride, and now need to determine if the person that I am offering the kindness to deserves it or not.
Unconditional kindness from me is a thing of the past.
Having said that I do enjoy giving kindness when I feel that I can.
But Redex. U r so kind urself already. But I have found that the one kindness does not necessarily calls for another. So see urself as very lucky indeed.
Veri. That is very sad. When a person is kind already, they r exploited, but u grow up and the kindness becomes selective, as u said. It took me 6 years at my current position to find someone in the company to talk to freely, and even then she tells everyone else as I'm seen as an enigma.
Snook yes lucky indeed a little opening of myself I see now.
This move maybe the best everhug hug
Redex. U did say this one is to stay. Maybe that attitude is showing.
I agree Lucy but I thought snook meant a doing kindness not a passing kindnesspeace
wave bye my friend be good grin teddybear
Lm. We all see life different, that is why we r not all the same. Imagine life with little Lm's every where. Very boring.
friend
kindness a nature of all human being but it's depending
people true heart.
Hi Rcm. I thought that my religion makes u not like me.

It is not just a true heart Rcm.

It is just plain "Heart" !

U don't find it often, it is mainly a show to pretend ur someone u r not at all. Just for the show off.
yes very rare! almost extinct you could saydunno
Hi. My sweetie pie. How's life treating u? U r just as soft hearted as me.
Imagine life with little Lm's every where. Very boring.

Not sure what you mean by that Snooks, but we can't have it all ways! cheers
Lm. U can replace the Lm with Snook and the meaning will be the same.
Hi Redex wave it just goes to show how we each interpret things differently! C'est la vie! bouquet

Ok Snooks...but my life isn't in the least bit boring....lately I kind of wish it was! But then, we must always be careful what we wish for! doh laugh
Lm. And people find me a more than handfull, my whole life.
Snookum
it's not true
i respect true people not religion.
Rcm. Then I am glad, and underestimated u. It just looked strange then. U must have had an urgent errand to run.

And yes. I am very true. More so than most want.
YOU are truthful and speak with honesty hug
Thanks and your most welcome

Yes kindness can be rare especially the way things are in the world.

Obviously sometimes you find it and sometimes not.

It's not very often that you see kindness anymore that is why I view it as being rare sometimes.
Cc. Lm is the only one not thinking so. So let's try to understand why she says so and the rest of us not. Do u know why? Or is it only the ones that agree, except Lm, that is putting a note on the blog.
Thanx Cc. U have the gift. I'm not very good with words.

Snooks Obviously Lucy has her opinions and obviously we have ours.

WE all have different experiences obviously.



There's really nothing for me to understand as far as I can see.
Cc. I don't agree with Lm's notes as I don't find the same counts for me. Most people that act that way only do it for show, I have found in my life.

e.g. In a supermarket, it is ur job to be friendly with customers. U don't do it because u want to. So I pick up on actions like that and see it for what it is. It is definitely not kindness.
Well, CC and Snooks, thankkfully not all my experiences have been negative. There've been enough positive experiences with people that allow me to still believe the best in others. For sure, shallow people exist, Snooks, but I'm not one of them. However, I'm not completely naive as I do choose the people I care about very carefully.

But Snooks do you agree that anyone has a right to their opinion whether you agree with them or not?


Obviously people view and experience things differently then you and I do.

Wasn't it you who spoke about Freedom of speech?


When you create topics don't you expect others to give their opinions?Or just agree with you and not have their own opinions.
Lm. I have found in my life, a long time ago, That reality is not friendly, giving or understanding, etc.

We live in a cruel world, and it is up to us, to make it better, for he under privileged. The rest should be able to take care of themselves. If not a friendly word in the right ear, and all is sorted.

I can sense distress.

Lucy Not all of mine have been totally negative either.


I know there are some good people too and don't believe that all people are bad.

Like you I'm not naive either and am very careful in choosing people who I care about too.
Snooks, the number of people who travel through life untouched by meanness/cruelty is probably very few. For me, it's how we choose to deal with it. We should be cautious but we shouldn't slam the door on sincerity. For me, the jar of life is half full; for you, it's half empty. I assume that the employee in the supermarket is being friendly because the company expects excellent customer service. Why would that be shallow? Do you not provide the same to your customers? Anyway, this is one of those discussions that goes round in circles and ends no where because our views are completely opposite. You and CC think kindness is rare; I don't! bouquet
Lucy if you read Veritatis post even he said it was a rarity.So far that means three of us do so far.

Doesn't mean you are wrong in your thinking.
CC & Lm. What it comes down to as mentioned earlier.

We r all different. If not it will be a boring world.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. It is a human right.
Snooks I already know that about how it would be a boring world if we all shared the very same opinion.

I have said and thought that for most of my life.
CC, kudos to you, Snooks and Veri for being on the same page. Unfortunately, I don't agree. Why has such a non-issue become such a big issue? confused
Cc. So have I. Reality hit me very early in life.
To me the topic hasn't and I don't think I've tried to make it a big issue.If I have I apologize.handshake hug
Lm. Tht's exactly why we differ. I don't see it as a non-issue at all.

It is one of the most important things in the world.

Something we have to take out of the attic, dust off and realise it is of prime importance.
