Kindness.

I pray that I never write anything out of spite or directly aimed at someone intentionally, but something the other day caught my thought. So hopefully, this is not a slander but a general assessment that I saw through a few specific events.

I believe that their are two types of kindness. Both types portray the good act of kindness, but one has a secret motive of negative connotation. The first kindness is beautiful and real, full of thought and creativity with a touch of unconditional. It has no other motive but than the genuine care for people. It is honest, beautiful, and incorruptible.

This kindness is portrayed by people who do it for the mere love of humanity and others.

The second type, the mischievous kindness, has a reflection at first glance that can be mistakenly perceived as pure and wholesome. It gives a warm opening and is very aggressive(which can be a good thing) but this kindness is mostly due to "show." It is only acted upon due to a sense of responsibility; as if it is a gift for others that needs to be given. People who display this type of kindness act as if they are superior to others and believe that their kindness is a "need" for others. They place themselves on their own pedestals and judge aimlessly. They have all the right answers and barely make mistakes.( Except for the ones that allow them to be "seen" as humble.) They always correct with "kindness", judge with "kindness", and put their two cents in with "kindness." And if they speak to you, that "IS" kindness.

This kindness is the epitome of fake, and nobody needs fake kindness.

Jesus spoke of the love of God as unconditional. Something so powerful and great, we may never fully understand it. The kindness he gave, although far more greater, can be seen as a glimpse in the first type of kindness mentioned earlier. This type of kindness is based on a "want too" and not on a "have too."; a hidden ambition, not a showy display. Sadly enough though, Christian's these days portray the second. We place ourselves as better people who live purer, walk straighter, and act nicer. We are kind because it's our job, and we do it because it looks good on paper.

We've lost the Jesus way, and created our way.

Its the kindness behind closed doors that Jesus portrayed. The kindness that never stopped no matter the cost of popularity or status, or the length of time or effort. Kindness doesn't make people better than anyone, and isn't needed to be shown just because you are a good person.

It should be an all-across-the-board, non-selective, pure, behind-closed-doors, Jesus-portraying kind of life.

A lifestyle that doesn't fit into a mold, but expresses itself in love.
