Comments

• Since everything changes over time, I am not holding unto anything not even myself or other people. I will be kind to people when I interact with them but I am not holding unto them.

• Today I was kind to myself as well as to other people. That is kindness.

• When you realise that anyone you are near is a warm, kind, attractive, friendly and close human being at their core who have feelings like you have then you don't feel that anyone is a threat because no human being is actually a threat to you. All human beings change over time so don't hold on to any human being but be kind to every human being you interact with. Being kind is not harming any human being, not making any human being feel sad or depressed and making other human beings feel loved and happy. The same applies to the way you view and treat animals. No human being is bad, it is just that sometimes human beings do the wrong thing because they have the wrong view not because they are malicious and evil. Every one gets the wrong end of the stick once in a while and this affects how they treat others. If they think the other person is trying to harm them, they get defensive and afraid of the other person and they ignore the other person or block the other person or fight off the other person. But the other person was never trying to hurt them, they just had the wrong view or they were not thinking of doing anything wrong. If someone has the wrong view, be kind to the person. Don't threaten the person or hurt the person or get angry with the person. Just show love and kindness to the person with the wrong view and they will trust you again and have the right view. Remember every wrong action done by a person is the result of the person having the wrong view not as a result of them being evil. Try to have the right view by never accepting that anyone is evil no matter what they do whether they lie, steal, harm someone physically, yell at someone, call people degrading names, force you to take drugs or injections against your will, kill someone or rape someone. Our views affect our actions. Our views are what we strongly believe to be true and we act upon these beliefs whether they lead to wrong actions or right actions. Our views are very important. The view that everyone is good and no one is evil allows you to be kind to everyone because no one is a bad person out to only hurt others. A true Buddhist is nice to everyone because they don't agree that any one is evil.
