The meaning of the word kindness has been lost,
After all, all actions are with a purpose these days.
"Yes, friend, I will help you in full...
And you will make concessions to me."
To take another's kindness,
Oh, I must be rich.
For at least one person's help,
You will give, at least two.
Oh, yes, I am seriously frightened by it.
After all, in our time, kindness,
Emanates from everyone at lightning speed,
And it is sincere, only sometimes.
Everyone obsessively shoves it in,
Without thinking - you need it.
But knowing that now it is theirs,
They will take from you in full.
Life is transactional on so many levels.
I hope that more of us come to understand this and be better about recognizing kindness can be weaponized. Thank you for sharing this insight. I hope I can remember to have gratitude for being able to help someone, instead of seeding expectations for my help.
