I was reminded today how kindness changes the way people think.
I was expecting harshness. I armed myself with strength. I shielded myself with apathy. As is typical of wrong-minded thinking, I was worried for nothing. I was given kindness instead. Instantly I changed from one direction of thinking to another. Barriers were no longer there. Imagination-induced stress and pressure disappeared. I became free, friendly, and energized to do even more.
Kindness leads to repentance. Being kind lifts people up so they return to the high way of thinking...the "pent" house.
I'm high on happiness tonight because someone was kind. I like people who are naturally kind. Kindness shows value for people over performance. I also want to influence people with kindness.
