Not Kind, Just Aware š
My son once asked,
āDad, arenāt you too kind?ā
I smiled and said,
āIām not really a kind person.
Iāve just come to realize that most things in life are actually quite trivial.
And once you understand that,
thereās not much left to get angry about.ā
After a pause, I added,
āI also learned that being considerate of others
often turns out to be a benefit to myself as well.
Thatās probably why I seem kind.
But itās not some calculated kindnessā
itās more like practicing how to see the world with a wider lens.ā
Finally, I told him,
āDonāt cling to small, immediate gains.
Instead, learn to find ways where everyone can win.
Thatās the path to true wisdom.ā 6 replies
