Kindness is one of the most important aspect of human behavior. In times like these where everyone is helpless , the only thing one can show is empathy , kindness , love , gratitude . You never know how hard it has been for someone. Kindness is not confined towards just your friends or family , it extends to everyone, from the person who serves you tea in the office to the person whom you report to .
Now a lot of people will have a question about what if the other person does not treat us well. Tell me something do you like a frustrated mind in the evening or a calm one ? I think the obvious answer is a calm peaceful mind. Now if you get irritated with the person who is not respectful towards you, you will continue to be annoyed the entire day thinking about how can you get back at him or her , you might even get a chance and even if you do the same of what he/she did to you you will still keep thinking about it and the other person will start planning on how to get back at you and the cycle continues. On the contrary if you just let go the whole thing and still be kind towards the very person who did not treat you well , it will let you keep a peaceful mind and continue to have a pleasant day. At the same time the person who did wrong to you might notice a change in your behavior if not immediately, he/she will gradually. So in a way , not only you saved yourself from crappy days but also changed someone else's attitude .
All this might seem difficult to do , but trust me it does wonders . All the optimistic attitude creates a healthy environment for your mind and soul. I learned about this through a spiritual book , at first i thought this kind of attitude can only be held by a saint , but honestly once it starts working for you, you start enjoying it . I find it very weird now when people are whining about others “ this person did that to me , he was rude to me , she didn't tell me this or that ” , i find it funny and sad at the same time that people are wasting their energy on something that is not going to lesd you anywhere, it is complete wastage of your precious time.
Just let go ! Be kind to everyone, you never know what the other person might be going through. As humans the least we can do is have empathy towards one another.
