There's been so much betrayal by our government. Even our friends, neighbors, bosses, coworkers, and family members suddenly are empowered to unleash and revel in their misogynistic, racist, and homophobic tendencies that were previously tucked quietly away.<br />Being kind now feels too similar to being complacent and invisible in order to avoid being abused, making it even harder for a lot of us to cope. <br />I know I need to be kind. I know that. But kindness is really going out in measured and careful doses. If you can strip my friends of their insurance or their marriage certificate or their ability to just get home from oversees where they were doing charity healthcare, why should I do the tiniest thing for you? Why should I let you have any more of me? <br />I think kindness is out for me. I think hunkering and bolstering are in order. This is awful to admit.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207121540248325766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-19589165014283168992017-02-04T15:51:44.276+11:002017-02-04T15:51:44.276+11:00Sage advice Missy :)

I think there are many things about our world that would change if we all brought kindness to the forefront of our minds and let that be the motivation for what we say and do.
