Greetings Dear Reader,
I had a conversation recently about how important it is not
to be unkind to others. She realized
that she was treating a coworker in a very mean way. This week when I spoke to her she said that
she had gone all week without being mean to the aforementioned coworker.
She went on to tell me that the coworker asked why she was
mad. As we continued the conversation my
friend explained that she was not mad but rather she was indifferent. Sometimes or maybe always indifference is
actually aggression. Whether passive or
active, being indifferent requires the withholding of good positive
interaction.
One must practice indifference to achieve it. That is an aggressive act. If I am indifferent to the needs of others I
am doing harm. Withholding kindness is
to do intentional harm. In a world where
we are required to be recognized by our love for each other there is no room
for indifference.
We would not withhold food from someone who is starving but
we walk in a world where people are hungry for kindness. We cannot afford to treat anyone with indifference. It robs others of hope and love.
It is not enough for me to not do evil. I must actively do good. I cannot be indifferent to anyone. I must do everything I can to show kindness
and love to others. Indifference is aggression
done with subtlety. Kindness must be given with intent.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
