Understanding Kindness As An Edifying Virtue
Like everything else in life, we can learn to have virtues such as empathy, charity, kindness, generosity, forgiveness and care for others.
These are, without a shadow of a doubt, free passes to our liberation. But we know that there are also, on the other hand, attributes that we recognize as bad temper or as acquisitions that we take away from us, as people who often sinned for the absence of these qualities, which can be easily learned and educated through experiments in the social framework in which we are inserted.
We all take from childhood the middle of what we often judge to be reprehensible or wrong. It is necessary that we refine all our content, often exacerbated, so that we can let only the cream of good feelings, those that exist and that we keep in our soul, as treasures found in our inner home, flow into the filter of life..
It is difficult for us to look inside ourselves and realize that there is something there that can be condemned by society, one that is so judicious and so necessarily arbitrary in its judgments. We need, more than ever, to look at our inner space and evaluate what we keep as a reward for all that we take, one day, from somewhere, and apply in the house of our senses.
Let us consider our shortcomings, evaluate the self-criticisms, praising only what is somehow useful and that deserves to be commented and reflected upon. I’m not saying we should hide our faults, of course we need to look at them and decide carefully what we’re going to do with all of this.
We need to be careful with what we have in our hands, because somehow we will transmit to the world what we have inside and what we have funneled into our real being. If, when we look inside, we only see unworthy things, I think it’s time to look for help.
If the world has not been able to change us and, even so, we have perceptions that we are inadequate, it is because we are left with hope. If we intimately want to change in ourselves what is considered base, unscrupulous, we can do something about the situation presented and evidenced.
So we urgently need to polish our entire building and, like working ants, look for sensible solutions about what we will do with ourselves and with our deepest faults.
To be able to perceive that we are different from what is intended as being correct and upright. It is a first step towards a self-awareness that must be carefully modified.
Seeking professional help is a great tool that we need to have in our hands, because when we notice that we need to change, help from the outside can be enlightening and really useful and useful when our desire comes from the tireless inside.
We know that there will be no one in this surrounding universe who does not have intrinsic defects, because we are all, from an early age, put to the test in hard situations, in which we tend to act in the wrong way. But we are driven, through bitter experimentation, to move our phalanges, where the pendulum will often rotate in the opposite direction of the route that should be going to the correct place.
It is often noticed how difficult it is for some people to follow a constructive path. Many times some people destroy what exists in their interior, starting towards real wars waged in their psychological world.
Assessing, observing, persevering, obtaining edifying criteria, is what we all must do to have good mental health.
As Renato Russo once said: “To be kind is to have courage”
And he is correct in this statement, because to be good it is necessary that we have a lot of courage and discipline, but it is especially necessary that we are good before ourselves, before we leave towards the universe of others.
Be kind, but take care and love yourself first. Only then, after being generous with yourself, will you be able to bear good fruit in an evolving society.
We need to learn from each other, adding and sharing with everything we have in our hands and that we can offer to each other.
Look for reasons to be and make yourself happy, because only when you are able to make this world a better place, you will be considered a person of integrity and effective in the fight that will eradicate the true social ills.
Overcome yourself, be happy with what you have in your hands, be pleasant, be worthy. We are all waiting for you to do the best you can so you can walk side by side with others. Thus, the new world we are aiming for will become possible, but for that to happen, you just have to do your part.
Recognize yourself, come join us so that we can walk together and make it possible for us, more and more, to unite and form a world where the true joys will finally be possible to reach.
