I spent so much time & even years thinking itâs so hard to do acts of love & kindness, little did I know it might be just because I havenât met the ârightâ people, or because I donât let people be the ârightâ people, or because I just didnât realize that they are the ârightâ people. Now I know that some people are easy to love. Some people are hard to love. And sometimes, we have no choice but to love these âhardâ people. After all itâs life, we know it wonât always give us only what we want and what we need.
But today letâs talk about these âeasyâ people.
The people who treat you right.
The people who understand you.
The people who put effort to understand you.
The people who truly care about you.
The people who do kind things cause they care about you.
Not really romantically, but also in friendships & other forms of relationship.
And little did I know that⊠my motivation to do kind & loving things greatly stems from how people treat me.Â
When someone is genuinely nice to me, I have this huge urge wanting to treat them well too. And really do treat them well. (at least according to my standard).
I didnât realize that peopleâs kindness and love can motivate me to be a better person. Honestly it makes me feel better about myself.Â
However I canât help to think that itâs an irony that my capability to be kind & loving is deeply correlated with how people treat me.
Maybe this is the type of kindness & love that I can afford to do.Â
But I guess itâs ok...
As long as Iâm growing into a better person.
