“Offending others is not what a kind hearted person wants to do that is why they are kind, but pleasing everyone makes us not kind, but evil!”

Proverbs 17:27 He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

Proverbs 9:13 The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing.

Proverbs 11:29 He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Facts: However, as much as kindness is heralded as a thoughtful, caring, and generous behavior, it also tends to get a bad rap: Some people think it’s a sign of weakness. There seems to be a perception that a kind person is soft and emotionally frail, while an individual who is rude and curt — even one who disparages kind efforts — more often than not is someone who is tough, socially intriguing, and even admirable.

Resist the urge to explain yourself. Breur advises that you continue being kind without feeling obligated to justify your behavior. “Simply demonstrate who you are and let your actions of kindness versus words define you,” she says. By Jennifer Lea Reynolds
