I think I have. I know as you grow up it’s harder and harder to come by though. But geez it would have been nice to have a period in my life where people showed a bit of kindness.

People really do tend to suck…

Since being diagnosed there isn’t much compassion out there it seems. But growing up I had enough friends to fill the couches in front of the TV set. I think even today healthy people struggle to do that. Social media is to blame I think.

I didn’t grow up with very much of it. My mother wasn’t a kind, warm and loving person. I was always surprised and appreciative of it whenever I encountered it. I wound up marrying the kindest person I’ve ever met.

I think they way society is has a lot to do with it. People are generally stuck in survival mode, trying to work enough hours in their measly jobs to earn enough money to live comfortably. I certainly think there are people who suck big time but I also think most people are stressed with not having enough work and not having enough money to live comfortably. If they had this they would probably have more time to be generous to others. I think most people are good, it is their circumstances that ruins their potential.

Yeah. I think I agree wholeheartedly with that.
I’m the type of person who gets quite a bit of kindness. My life isn’t easy, though.

There was a distinct lack of kindness in junior high and high school, that is for certain. Those who do not conform to the herd are chased out of it.

There have been times when I was on the road, and someone came up to me and handed me a $20.00. I’ve also gotten $10.00’s and $5.00’s before. Other people who have been on the street have told me they have gotten the same thing. I think I get a bit more of it, though, completely unasked for, but I sure needed it at the time. There is another type of panhandler who can always get people to give him a few dollars to buy beer. This one guy would go up to people and ask them if they would give him a few dollars to buy beer with, and they would give it to him. People won’t do that for me. I think they feel an impulse to reform me.

Man, I would have to agree too. I think deep inside most people are good.
I’ve had unkind things done to me many times whether work related or school or me being too young to think I deserved better. I still encounter jerks on the street from time to time though their effect on me means less and less but I have the kindness of my grandma, dad, mum, and a couple aunts and uncles, and even an older friend who’s stuck with me even when I was the one being unkind. So I believe I do. Thankfully.

When I needed it most, I’d say yes.

in my life it was up and down. sometimes it seemed that just everyone was un-kind and sometimes the opposite where everyone was kind.
right now, I am trying to think positive but find myself quite depressed over some unkindnesses going on in my life. really, we shouldn’t let them make ourselves so wrapped up in them and what they do or don’t do.

Yes, the children at my school were not very nice.

I was bullied as a child and my dad was an abusive drug addict, so I struggled finding kindness until I was an adult.
