It’s a common saying that being kind is easy. But that isn’t universal.
At the bare minimum, we all have bad days. How can you offer kindness if you yourself are suffering?
Alternatively, in the current antagonistic landscape, our lives come are filled with handy antagonists.
Them. Those people. The others.
Whether political, religious, racial, intellectual, or nationality, we’re constantly assaulted by someone blaming someone else.
In those instances, if we agree with the one speaking, it’s hard to be kind to the other.
But kindness can, and likely should, start small. A smile, a wave, or a compliment. Free to share, but immensely rewarding.
