Deep dives

Identifying Kindness Killers

Three primary factors termed kindness killers significantly hinder the ability to exhibit kindness: bitterness, anger, and selfishness. Bitterness is described as a grudge that paralyzes the capacity for kindness, making it impossible to hold both at once. Anger is acknowledged as a deeper emotional issue that often masks unresolved heart conflicts, where identifying its root causes can lead to regaining one's kindness. Lastly, selfishness not only severs relationships but also leads to spiritual emptiness, as kindness inherently requires an outward focus on others rather than an inward focus on oneself.
