Kindness is one of the first things I learned as a child. Be kind to my siblings. Be kind to the neighbors. Be kind to our cat and dog. I’ve taught my children and grandchildren the importance of being kind. And so…what goes around…comes back around.
I agree, but then I had this thought: even kindness can be mean under certain circumstances and the same for mischief, so I guess you can’t get away from it they are still in the I believe, but also category; does that mean it depends?
Thanks for your response! As a writer I seem to come up too often with the ‘random’ thought. The answers were so similar I thought there has to be another way to look at this. Actually I enjoyed your post. Thanks for coming by.
So do I.
