Kindness

[Louisabell]

Where I see the difference of kindness and loving-kindness is in the degree of acceptance. You can be kind to someone because they are another supporter of your favourite team, maybe you walk past someone with the same team jersey and decide to smile and wave. You can be kind to your coworkers because it makes for a more enjoyable workday. But loving-kindness, I believe, is expressing the full acceptance of another as a being of unity. It is unconditional and it is all encompassing. It is saying that no matter what you do, what you think, what you say, I will always accept you and I will always see the best in you.

If we are all one, why is the flavour of kindness or love, conditional?
How do we unite as "SMC Earth" , if we are only letting those vetted into the uncontional love club?

I think the issue with conditional love/kindness is that it cannot stand up to the stress test. We are changeable and can break down, we know this about ourselves, so to be loved conditionally means that now you are beholden to keep acting a certain way in order to maintain that love connection. In a way it is a restriction.

The truer freedom is to be accepted unconditionally, then you don't have to waste any mental resources on acting in certain ways. You can truly be yourself in every moment with only your own sense of morality to guide you.  And being unconditionally loving/kind to the self would be very freeing I would imagine.

But I think once there is a threshold of people at that place, the quicker that others will learn to love unconditionally also. An environment of total acceptance of one's self and other would make SMC formation easier. I see the issue on Earth at this time is that there is not enough support available for the emotional healing necessary, unfortunately.

I'm not sure if I answered your question.
