Being kind does not mean letting people take advantage of you. True, you must respect other people. But you have to respect yourself, too. Sometimes you can't be kind to everybody, you don't have to be mean either though.
Just love them.





A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.





After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.





Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.





I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.





I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.





If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.





I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I鈥檓 making progress.





Love and blessings





Your brother


don
there's nothing wrong with be kind... but when they take advantage u say it straight
Of course most people try to take advantage. That's natural. You will give more than you get. But it's more blessed to give than to receive. And you will be happy, because you have made others happy.
My advice? Don't.Not everyone deserves it.When I meet someone,I am only as nice as I am required by society. to.If they do something to earn my respect,than I will treat them well.If they're just gonna be an A-hole than thats what they get back.If we're kind to everyone there will be no losers,and if there are no losers,there are no winners.
if i find one thats truley kind out of a million its worth all my time
Theres is no formula for this..I think you should just remain true to yourself and beliefs!! Sure there will always be people who will try to take advantage form you, you just have to be vigilant! Eventually i believe the people who take advantage of you will always get it back in some way..when you hurt someone..karma gets you back..So do your best to be truthful not only in your relationship but to yourself too!!


Hope this helps you a little!! And ps: i have the same goal as you!! But sometimes its hard!Just do your best!
dont worry about anybody, because what you sow is what you reap
if i am still here i was necessarily a bad person.
Depends on who it is. Most of the time I just I feel like you are trying to take advantage of me. Then I see where it goes from that.
Worthy goal but not practical. Expect the best from people but be prepared to say no. When people are to smooth they usually are trying to take you for a ride. When people get nervous it means they are unsure. Apply this rule and see what happens.
Let go of the desire to be kind and just be. By clinging to the goal you will draw more need to reach your goal and it will all ways be 'out there' in front of you but never attained.





Kindness is only gratitude and identification. If you are grateful for the relationship and identify that they are the same living essence you are it won't really matter what 'you' get out of it. You can only be taken advantage of if you feel that you have something to lose. If you feel you have more than enough then when they take you are happy they are getting.





Drop the goal and be.
you teach them to catch a fish
No one can be completely nice to EVERYBODY.





But everyone can TRY to show kindness toward others.


Just help others out when they're in need. But don't go OVER.


Tell them that you don't think its right to -do whatever they're asking that you feel is taking advantage of you-
