(I'm typing from my laptop so it should probably be a longer entry.) So my friend says that kindness is shown because you want to feel good about yourself. I forgot which side I stood for or rather what I thought. So here's what I currently think. Eh.... oh yeah, people want to be recognised? Or something. However no matter what you say, they. Will . Have. A. Motive.
Whether it's known to them or not.
Oh, apparently what sets us apart from apes is the ability to think for others and not just to ones own benefit.<-- This is due to evolution and the lack of certain skills to survive. Making us having to work together to survive then. Apparently we've lost this touch now. I don't blame anything. Now that we've managed to survive on our own we probably will forget how to help ea--wait..... This "Kindness" thing had the intention of yourself surviving by getting others to work for you in the first place. HA.
Which means that kindness, in the end is given for selfish reasons and not just because people want to feel good about themselves. Over the years, it's been drummed into our minds that WE NEED TO HELP OTHERS. They forgot to mention why. ("They" is probably society. Which is, in the end just a bunch of people. Nevertheless, there is nothing I fear more than people. Which is why I choose to sit behind my computer screen and type this.)
And this brings me on to something else. If helping others was so good, why can't they help everyone out of poverty? Sure they can give the underprivileged food and shelter etc. But in the end they still will not help them out of their situation. In fact, we need them. If everyone under the sky were rich, who would provide us with materials? Everyone would be having desk jobs. NO ONE would build houses or farm. The standard of living would also go up because everyone can afford what they want. This would make everything high in demand much much more expensive. Till some can no longer afford it. Cuz there's no one doing the work we look down so much upon. And the cycle of poverty will repeat itself again.
There is inequality among man. Even in animals.Yet, this inequality keeps the world balanced when you look at it. Which brings us back to the question : Why do we even try to understand the universe? People are scared of what they do not know. Fear rules all. Knowledge is power.
Ah, I digressed from the main topic at hand. This is what actually goes on in my mind just so you know. This entry is my attempt to try and be more open to who's arsed enough to read what I write here. There should be nobody far as I know. Kindness, is something we've made for our own benefit. Nothing has changed in the end. We still need others to survive. Still incapable on our own and we accept it. (Well most of us anyway) Old and wise people don't like accepting kindness.
