At first in practicing kindness I thought that kindness, chips away at the self, meaning selfishness. What I have discovered however is that in practicing kindness, kindness transforms the self, separating the selfishness from the self. The self is the center of your being and it was created good. Kindness is the key to helping your soul rid itself of selfishness and transforms it into selflessness. This is a great journey of the soul if you are willing to put yourself through the test and allow yourself to fail without, beating yourself up because of your own weaknesses, faults and failings. Kindness, I am learning is simple as God is simple. Kindness is a genuine smile that you are happy to see someone, listen to them and love them right where they are. If I may recommend a book, it would be the Hidden Power of Kindness. This will put your soul to the test, examen yourself and allow Gods mercy to abound in your soul and transform it into a merciful, kind and loving soul who enjoys all Gods creatures just like He, God enjoys each of His creatures, that's you and me. Be Kind! Live Kindness!
Kindness in practice is love!
