May 26 in 👥 Human Relationships
Kindness
When it comes to human relationships, being kind above all else allows you to get much further than any other approach.
It's a minor tweak from simply being nice, agreeable, or cogent.
**Being nice** means being pleasant and polite to others, often to make them feel comfortable and happy. This can, and often is, faked.
**Being agreeable** involves being cooperative and accommodating, often going along with others to avoid conflict. But this may mean acting in ways that put other priorities before your own simply because you “don’t want to upset anyone.” You deserve just as much kindness and respect as anyone else you choose to show it to.
**Being cogent** means being clear, logical, and convincing in your communication. This is the one I struggle with the most. Often, I try to say how I’m feeling in a clear, logical, and convincing manner. But this is not always the best approach when dealing with a partner who operates on an emotional basis. There is nothing wrong with stating how you feel, but if you forget to integrate kindness and compassion into your communication, you may come off as, to put it lightly, psychotic and egocentric. As you fail to apply nuance to a sensitive topic, it can be too much to state the truth without a hint of kindness.
However, kindness triumphs all else.
**Kindness** is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. It's about genuinely caring for others and acting with compassion and empathy, even when it's not expected or required. Kindness creates deep, lasting connections and fosters trust and mutual respect, allowing you to build stronger and more meaningful relationships.
I saw this tweet that said, "You will forget all the cool people you meet. You will forget those who tried to show how smart and successful they are. But you will never forget someone who showed you true kindness.”
