Be kind.

Are used to scoff at people making this statement. Be kind.

Maybe because of its simplicity or maybe because it sounded more as an admonishment that I was being everything but kind.

But then when I started investigating it for myself that’s when I realized that I was confusing politeness with kindness. Politeness is a fake superficial manner which requires no investment no self reflection.

But being kind is an adjective it is an action. If you are kind to yourself first it’s like exercise memory you will continue and will be kind to others let that sit with you for a while time to myself I’ll be kind to others. Very simple. Repeat.
