Yes, kindness and the mirroring effect is an interesting discussion.
If others are unkind towards you, then does that mean this unkindness is coming from inside you and just reflected back? I did a lot of testing regarding this and I came to the conclusion that it is more complex than that.
I think it is a sign of rejection of your sharing. If you output only loving-kindness and unkindness is mirrored back, then it is a rejection of your offering.
But as with any mirroring, it is always good to look inside and see if that is indeed something inside you that is being reflected or if it is just a simple rejection. It's always good to ask ourselves that question.
