Kindness. What a strange word and human invention. Most kindness stems from wanting to feel like there is some meaning or to create a self centered absorption of emotions. ( Do it to feel good. ). If we can step away from the ego driven motivation and break it down to 2 basic elements of philosophy. Does it benefit us to be kind? Will it change our reality or potential? Obviously the answer is yes to all. Even if someone does it to secretly ( or otherwise) to make the kindness an act of effort. It's still based in a need to want to feel connection in one way or another. Empathy. To affirm that there is good in the world. That in that moment of kindness. We can make a difference. And in that "hope" of making a difference we "hope" that it will become contagious and others will follow suit. So the benefit is hope. When we embrace "hope" it opens doors of possibilities that can give us new directions, even new beginnings. We like hope. We want hope. Desire it, fight for it. Will even create great acts of violence to secure it. Which leads me to the second element of kindness. Reality and potential. In simple acts of kindness we change not only our reality but others. We change moments in time where true connection becomes the link that bonds us in potential. It can change a mind, a direction, a feeling or a life. Pay it forward is a great example of contagious kindness. It's important to feel like that in life we have moments to be something we are not most of the time and be kind. We make up justifications of that, we are to busy, we want more, or life isn't fair. When in reality it's the individual responsible for their own kindness. If we were kind to ourselves first, it would be easy to be kind always to others. We need to take moments and give ourselves a break. Be honest to ourselves. Work hard to grow, learn and embrace nature more. When we are kind to ourselves and it becomes the norm of our daily routine. It's easy to step outside of ourselves and outwardly express kindness to others. Including nature, animals, people and places.
So my question to you Erick, ( and by the way thank you for the hard work you have done over the years to being interest and joy into our lives.) What does kindness really mean to you? I mean the core of it, the act of it. Will it help is past this stage of chaos we are in now? How do we motivate a world of people to be kind?

No thank you. I appreciate the invite. I truly do But I'm not seeking any attention or anything like that. I liked the projects he's working on. And got me thinking. If he decides to walk that path with me. I'm open. But I really don't do it to gain anything. I like the mindfulness of the ideology. And encourage it to be more. Thanks for your time.

Why is YouTube have so many Russian bots in channel when they do life debates? Is there any mods to help boot them or are they just part of the accepted norm and culture of YouTube?
