The power of doing GOOD things without CONDITIONS is extremely healthy. We sometimes are caught up with the idea that if we are kind, that kindness will be returned. Which isn’t the best reason to do something for others. Sometimes it is ego that drives us. Some of us are kind because we long for credit or recognition. If we examine our motivation for doing our kindness, we may be doing it for ourselves. This means we are doing our kindness with CONDITIONS.

If we do it without CONDITIONS then we can experience a much deeper gratification. Try this test; do something kind or generous for someone without knowing the individual at all. Then sit with that sense of fulfillment, see how it feels. Compare that unknown act of kindness with your previous acts of kindness. One may see that the unknown act of kindness was much more rewarding on a deeper level. A more precious and generous feeling. It is more healthy to break free of the ego. BE KIND FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT WE IMPROVED THE DAY FOR SOMEONE OUT THERE.

Be kind because kindness is worthy in of itself. As Hafez said in his poem; “even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, ‘you owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky.”

TAKE CARE, STAY WELL, STAY HEALTHY. HAVE FAITH. BEAR THE LOVE. THANK YOU.
