Kindness Is All Important

We do not experience greed or hatred without imagination.

Objectification occurs when an individual sees someone or something else as separate. The individual, or the subject sees another as separate, or the object. That individual does not see the other as part of them, so there is a deficit of kindness. The ego, is entrenched, steeped in bias and victimized by fragmentation. The malignant ego is then a danger to itself, and the broader self, the community.

Living from this view, self versus other, the world and the universe becomes one giant game of exploitation, with us exploiting the other for some agenda, some ulterior motive. Whatever we objectify we essentially count as a possession, a means to our pleasure. Every act becomes a veiled event, with gifts not really gifts, and every word a potential lie. Even what is truly our mother, this planet, is seen as a means for manifest destiny. Greed is an outlet for hate and hate a path for fear.

Hatred is the darkest and most addictive of pleasures. It allows us to turn on those we love the most if they do not meet our standards. We especially hate those who use to be seen as us, but who now are one of them. We begin to attempt to mold our world through objectification. Through hate. We even objectify ourselves, trying desperately to get the other, a part ourselves, to do what we want to do. We become the subject, eating itself, turning to make itself an object; and we grow to hate what we objectify,.

Kindness is the antidote. Kindness is all important because it treats all that we come in contact with as part of us. It is the antidote to hypocrisy, yours and mine. We can find true kindness in the moment. This is my issue, and yours. We are the problem, and the solution. Not objectified, not an object, but us. Not fragmented but whole. We can change the world because the world is every country. It is me. It is you. We are the solution the world needs. Kindness is not weakness. Only the strong can truly be kind, and those drawn to force are the weakest of all. Kindness is all important.
