Kindness With Limits

Be kind, but not a fool

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Don't sacrifice yourself for those who take without gratitude

Stop hurting yourself with "kindness" indiscriminately

Because not everyone will appreciate what you give

For some people, the better, the less considerate

Use your kindness to gain benefits

Some people, no matter how much you give, it is never enough

The more you give, the greedier you are, no matter how much you give, it is never enough

Some people will only be kind to you when they receive

When it is no longer useful, they are ready to bite immediately

Remember!! Anything that comes easily is usually "worthless,"

The same goes for kindness, if it is too much, too often

Instead of the receiver being grateful

It becomes a duty that you must give all the time.... Don't reduce, don't stop, don't refuse

When you stop giving....

All goodness will become "zero"

Before giving anything to anyone

Don't forget to "be kind" to yourself

Before loving others, do you love yourself yet?

If you have to "harm yourself"

To starve, to suffer, but "not lose face"

Because you are afraid of not being accepted in the eyes of others

This is not called "kindness,"

But it is called....a fool... who does not respect himself!!
