One Apple A Day #777 - Kindness
Too often, I've been triggered in the last months. I've read or heard things that got under my skin. From the media sure, but mostly from people I know. And these are the most tricky triggers. Because they challenge my perception of those people.
A part of me would like to reply and argument. However, I'm aware that it would be a reaction more than a response and nothing good will come from that, only pointless anger and resentment from both side.
So, most of the time, I opt for avoidance. I ignore anyone who can trigger me as much as I can and move on. Though, also this behaviour doesn't feel right. I can feel my judgemental self poisoning my soul.
This morning, while I was doing yoga, and my mind was focused on my body, a word came up.
Kindness.
I need to nurture kindness as the ability to see the good and the beauty in every human being.
It's not easy. At all.
Being kind is challenging.
Though, I feel kindness can change everything.
