  • Kindness changes lives. Lightens lives. Saves lives.

    Mean is passing, ignorant and only calls out the weaker people. Mean people are weak. Mean people validate themselves by stepping on the hearts of people who are willing to be bold enough to be vulnerable.

    Mean people suck.

    Please tell this to congress and the uber rich CEO's of Wall Street.

    Yes if politicans were nicer to each other, they just might get something done.

    Doesn't kindness also mean compassion and understanding? Mean people suck only if you allow them to effect your emotional state. Otherwise you seem them for what they are: just ordinary human beings with the same challenges, insecurities, hopes and dreams as "nice" people just manifested in different ways.

    Seems to me that true kindness shows patience and has the ability to see people as indivduals for the totality of who they are not just a personality trait.

    Sadly predictable responses.

    If you anticipated a response you wouldn't like why would you post?

    I have found that oatmeal makes me a nicer person, for at least five minutes. Unless a person is asking me to do something for them while I'm eating my oatmeal, then all bets are off!

    What they said. Frankly, I find being judgmental to be terribly unkind, both to the judged and to the High Horse that has to carry one around.
