Wow! I read this quote on Tama Kieves' website and it really made me think. We're told to be nice so often; but really we need to be kind, don't we? You can link to her site here:

Are you being nice or being kind?
"Always be kind. But think twice before you're "nice." Nice, is often a mask of pleasantness we put over negative feelings. Nice is often a form of self-rejection. Real kindness feels good. It's when we give because we want to give and we give in ways that respect everyone, including us."

Something good to think about...
ReplyDeleteYou can, generally, BE NICE. But, it takes more effort and love to be kind.
ReplyDeleteI believe you should always try to make a situation better and it needs to come from a place of love. It's not always easy but, as the quote said,"Real kindness feels good." I like that.
Good thoughts. I will check out Tama's website. Thanks.
never thought about it in that way but oh so true!
