Misunderstood Kindness





Remember, "On someone else's face!"  But today we know kindness as putting smile on our own face, a.k.a. self-service.  We have totally misunderstood the whole concept of kindness and given it a different meaning.  

Kindness today means, self glory, favor to self, and a whole big smile on our own face even if it brings tears to other's eyes. 

Yes, this is not enough.  We even brag, boast, propagate about it everywhere and anywhere we can. We further expect people to applaud, comment, compliment us for showing kindness to ourselves.    

The idea of kindness is that we are doing a favor to others by letting them watch us having fun and enjoying life.  We proudly claim that we are so nice and kind that we make the most of our life by sharing it with others on social media and let them know how much fun we are having and how generously we are sharing the pictures with them.  

Modern kindness: 
Be kind to yourself and take pride in it.
