Can you really be kind to the person who pisses you off, makes you feel really disgusted with his behavior? The answer is yes, though it is not easy.
The whole philosophy behind spreading kindness is not just to reach out and help the less fortunate. It is about cultivating positive energy and seeking inner peace. Holding onto anger, hate and hurt only weighs one down and breeds more negative energy, resulting in resentment, crticism and a revengeful mind.
When I fall back on my guiding principles to give love and kindness, to deal with things in a more positive manner, I feel more at ease with myself and happier. I no longer feel so much anger and negatitivity inside me. Instead, I felt calm and peaceful.
I am more convinced that the way to heal this world is not to use negativity to fight negativity because it sucks everyone into a vicious cycle, with both sides bent on destroying each other. The only way is to use positive energy, generated through love and kindness, to diffuse all the suffering, hate and anger in this world.
