Be as kind as possible to others and yourself and still survive yourself

In the end if you don't survive your life it's all pretty pointless isn't it? But, if you are also not as kind as possible to yourself and others likely you won't survive (or at least very well either will you)?

So, the point is you are kind to others (so you feel like you are a worthwhile human being) and you are kind to yourself (so you don't commit suicide) from mistreating yourself. It's just basic human psychology.

But, like I said if you are so kind that you feed your fingers and hands so to speak to animals or strangers then you won't have metaphorical or real hands to feed yourself, to work and to live.

So, most of this is just practical about basic survival as a human being here on earth.

You have to feel worthwhile enough to want to stay alive (even if it is to take care of others).

For example, until my girlfriend got pregnant when I was 25 I was considering killing myself. But, when I realized my son was coming I had to grow up and be responsible for my son growing up and having a good life.

Did my son being born save my life? I would have to say yes. It gave me a purpose in staying alive and in being alive in a world I thought at the time was too cruel to stay alive in anymore.

I was very handsome from about age 15 onwards and this created as many problems as it solved so I had many girlfriends from age 15 onwards until my girlfriend got pregnant at my age 25 and  my first child a son was born when I was 26. I was just barely old enough to be a husband even then in maturity but it worked even though I was a single father raising my son by the time he was 3 years old.

But, being a father I found was the single thing that made being alive worthwhile. Now I have a son and two biological daughters and 4 step kids in my life. And each one of them along the way helped me want to stay alive to help raise them right.

So, it was a kindness that I had a son to learn I had to stay alive to take care of others.

God has blessed my life in so many ways. Luckily, I stayed alive long enough to begin to understand all this.
