Everyone surely wants to be a kind person. But when you try hard to be kind, you eventually get tired. You naturally start to expect something in return, and if you don't get it, you feel a little empty. When you're misunderstood by someone, your heart wears down.
Why are people called "truly kind" so natural? Why do they seem untiring, unwavering, and not seeking anything in return?
For a long time, I thought it was a matter of personality. That kind people were just kind by nature.
But it seems that's not the case. The true nature of kindness wasn't about personality or morality, but rather the structure of how one perceives the world.
As long as you separate yourself from "others," kindness will not last.
A narrow perspective divides the world.
When viewing the world with a narrow perspective, people inevitably separate things into "self" and "other."
My own interests seem to clash with the interests of others. Helping someone and taking care of myself feel like they can't coexist; it feels like a trade-off where if I prioritize one, the other suffers.
If you try to be gentle while maintaining this structure, you will naturally have to sacrifice yourself for others.To shaveIt will come to this. If you shave it, it will decrease. If it decreases, you will have to replenish it. Replenishment is gratitude, appreciation, or reciprocation.
This is the true nature of the "being kind is tiring" phenomenon. It's not that you lack a kind personality. It's because you're being kind with a narrow perspective that it's structurally designed to be tiring.
As perspectives broaden, the boundary between altruism and selfishness blurs.
The way you see the world changes, and your actions change.
As one's perspective broadens, these distinctions gradually loosen.
You come to feel that your own interests, the interests of others, and the flow of events around you are not separate things but are all within the same single flow.
Helping others ultimately helps you. Organizing yourself ultimately sends good ripples to those around you.
Then, without forcing yourself to be a good person, you'll notice yourself naturally making altruistic choices. This is not moral growth.The way I see the world has changed as a result.It's just that my actions are automatically going that way.
A person with a high perspective's kindness doesn't come from a moral effort to "be a good person." It's simply because their cognitive structure makes them think that's the only natural way to be.
The reason why the kindness of those with a high perspective and truly gentle people is unwavering
Kindness naturally appears as a "result," not an "action."
So, the kindness of someone with a high perspective doesn't waver much.
Even if no one thanks you, or if someone misunderstands you, you won't crumble. Because you inherently have little awareness of "giving," you don't need anything in return. You simply are as you are, naturally. Naturally, there's no conscious thought of altruism.
On the other hand, the structure of "enduring and being kind" will eventually run out of fuel. The backlash will emerge somewhere. Some people will direct that backlash extremely inward, while others will direct it outward in a different way. True, sustainable kindness does not come from enduring; it comes from one's fundamental worldview.
The effort to be kind is noble. The effort to love the word "altruism" and embody that philosophy of life is worthy of respect. However, I want you to try shifting the direction of that effort towards expanding your perspective.
Kindness is more quickly cultivated by broadening your perspective than by working on it directly. Once your viewpoint expands, kindness will naturally follow.
True kindness isn't found in the effort to be a "good person." It emerges when your perspective on the world changes.Things that are there before you know itThat's right.
Altruism is not morality. It is a natural consequence of the structure of perspective.
