I take many things in life seriously. I take my work seriously. I take mental health seriously. I take other people's troubled times seriously.
But it's hard. The Pippi Longstocking in me wants to retreat back to lifting up horses with one hand and doing kartwheels in the backyard.
People often mistake 'kind' people as naive. I've seen some stuff. Oh Lord, have I seen some stuff. I find kindness is a more calm way of handling some of life's difficulties. A little rebellion and no-nonsense assertiveness comes in handy at times, but I will still remain gentle. You can't battle violence with more violence. Games with more games. Loving kindness seems much more mature than all that other B.S. that's out there.
