“Be devoted to one another.”  Ro 12:10 NIV

The power of kindness (1)

Sometimes we think that in order to be successful we have to be tough, hardnosed, and stoic in how we relate to others. Some folks even go so far as to interpret kindness as weakness and vulnerability. Nothing could be further from the truth. Kindness signals tremendous inner strength that others not only appreciate, but respect. Aesop wrote a fable in which the wind and the sun argued over who was the stronger. “Do you see that old man down there?” the wind asked. “I can make him take off his coat quicker than you can.” The sun agreed to duck behind a cloud while the wind blew up a storm. But the harder the wind blew the more firmly the traveler wrapped his coat around him. Eventually the wind gave up and the sun reappeared, smiling kindly upon the old man. Before long he mopped his brow, shed his heavy coat and strolled away. The sun knew the secret: Warmth, friendliness, and a gentle touch are always more effective than force and fury. Jesus was hard on hypocrites and those who took advantage of others. But to everyone else, including society’s rejects, He showed great kindness. He came into an unkind, dog-eat-dog, every-man-for-himself culture where there were no mental health institutions, hospitals, orphanages, or organizations of mercy. Yet He poured the milk of human kindness into every bowl of human suffering. And at the cross He demonstrated the ultimate cost of kindness—and in so doing, changed the world for all time. So, “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.”

That wind and sun story had nothing to do with kindness. Simply playing to your strenghts.

Decker:

Ignoring my question are we?

Yous had a conversation about being nice where you weren't being nice. For someone you could date and you find intriguing you'd think you'd classify her under people whose feelings you care about

Are you a man of your word ?

And what are you getting for Christmas!!!! ?

YourMain:

Oh that. I wasn't really messing with her, I was being honest.
Because I said I could date someone doesn't mean I would sacrifice telling the unadulterated truth on the altar of "being nice"
Of course I care about her feelings, like I do few people. But it's not like I actually hurt her feelings.

But I wish she showed a bit of anger and real emotion. Not some fake replies and smileys. I hate when people pretend to not feel hurt. It's annoying.

Yes, I am a man of my words.

Honestly I don't know. What are you getting for Christmas?

Awh. Aren't you sweet .

I already got all my Christmas presents lol. I won't tell you because it makes me seem very shallow

what would you like for Christmas. If you could have anything in the whole wide world. What three things would you have ?

YourMain:

You really love sarcasm, don't you?

Come on tell me, you won't sound shallow to me

I have a business idea I just started with a friend. If the idea can materialize and work out as we planned, that would be the best christmas gift ever

Three things. Bill gate's wealth of course, Immortality, and the ability to be able to control people and let them do my bidding.

What about you?

No! Even I sound shallow to me.

I hope you're nice to this friend. And he/she doesn't have a diabolical plan to run away with all your money

Lol you really have a thing with controlling people. Why ? Wouldn't you get bored ? Knowing that people are just doing things because you compel them not because they actually want to.

Ability to control time. Immortality to a certain extent. And to be successful.

YourMain:

The friend is a he, and if the business turns out successful, he can't run away with the money. It's not even possible.

Why? I don't know. It feels great to have a certain form of power over others. There is no greater feeling than knowing you can have your way with anyone, male or female.

Bored? That's impossible. It's fun on a whole new level.

You should sleep.

I think it'd be more satisfying that someone's doing what you want because they want to.

Of course you'd be bored. No one would ever argue with you or question you. If you compelled a woman to marry you there'd be no wooing or even the excitement of the chase. Sex will even be bland.

Lol that's what you'd think. People can be surprising.

Why are you advising me to sleep all of a sudden?

In some case it is, but in some, it isn't.

If I could compel someone, it won't be to marry me, that's a complete waste of compulsion. I'd do other stuff. More "interesting" stuff.

Because you usually always go to bed early.

Oooooooooooh stuff like what ?

YourMain:

No, I actually don't have a specific time I go to bed. If sleep comes, I sleep, but if I don't feel sleepy, I just find something to do.

Interesting stuff. Let's leave it at that.

Lol you're not very nice.

Do you have any brothers and/or sisters ?

You haven't updated your diary in a while... Cen fath ?

Are you for or against abortion ?

YourMain:

Why am I not very nice?

Yes, I have a two other siblings. A sister who is about your age and a younger brother.

Yeah, nothing to write. lol. I don't like revealing much of my offline escapades anyway.
What the fuq is Cen fath?

Well, on the issue of abortion, if someone feels she doesn't want to a child and she decides to abort the pregnancy, I don't see anything wrong in that. I mean, no need giving birth to a child you obviously aren't ready to raise.

And most people say that it's murder and all that issh. In my opinion, you aren't actually killing anyone. The child isn't formed completely yet, and most abortions are done just less than a month into the gestation. It's no different from using contraceptives.
