I had this the other day, I always think I'm too kind. Where I come from none of the type of stuff that happened to you that day ever happens - I think moving to London really hardened me up, I don't know if that's good or not.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, a couple of weeks ago me and my aunty were in Brighton. There were a lot of homeless people and as we weren't in a rush she thought she'd get a coffee and cookie for one of them. I waited for her a way back and watched as she walked back, and as the guy stood up, walked over to the bin and threw it inside. Just... What?! It got me so angry because he could have easily just said no thank you!
Totally agree though, kindness will win, someday. Just got to remember not to tar everybody with the same brush because of one experience.
Lovely post! Xxx

Hi Melanie, sorry for the delay your comment went under my radar but I'm sorry you had this experience too! The actions of others can be so puzzling sometimes, but its comforting to know there are other kind people out there putting their good intentions above mistrust in a hopes to offer light into someone else's lives. Thanks for sharing :) x
DeleteI'm decades older than you, and still struggle with this and probably will for the rest of my life. Though, as you wisely point out, while the shaft experiences leave you raw, thee are greater reasons to always be kind.
ReplyDeleteHi Sam, Well I'm glad to know that kindness is something that always stay with you :) and I like to think that hopefully it does pay back, if in different, subtler ways x
DeleteYou know, I love that even though this happened to you, which is absolutely shite - ugh it hurts my soul to think there are people who would do that!?- Ilove that you're staying positive about the importance of being kind. I've been blessed by the kindness of strangers over the last few years, and it's a shame that some people would do something so capable of lessening people's trust in the kindness of humanity. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm glad you're being the bigger person and not letting it defeat you. That, at least, is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSo much love,

Hey Anne, Thanks for being so supporting! I won't lie that it did knock me for a while but I think being positive is really the best way you can be. I wouldn't want the actions of a cruel few to affect my opinion of the rest of humanity who (like yourself!) are lovely and kind! :)
DeleteSo nice to hear you've had kindness in your life recently too. It inspires me too to hear of kindness going on in the world x
