Kindness and Compassion are the very essence of civilization itself worldwide

 I was always telepathic even as a baby and small child. I remember looking down at my father's friends shoes when I was 2 or 3 years old and thinking: "Will I ever have feet that big?" My feet are much bigger than most people I have met which are now between size 15 and size 17 sort of like a basketball player or football player because I'm about 6 feet 5 inches tall. 

However, I always wondered as a small child why adults thought one thing and then always said another. As a child telepath I always knew what people were thinking which was never polite. It took me until I was about 12 to 15 to realize that if people all said exactly what they thought that everyone would kill everyone else. Because what most people actually think is not kind but usually very cutting of others.

However, I eventually realized that kindness and politeness are the very essence of human civilization. And learning to be kind and compassionate is the very essence of becoming civilized as a human being.

Being kind to others is an extension of being kind to oneself. Unless you can be good at doing both you usually don't live very long.

Because if you are not kind to others they will tend to shun you and harm you in various ways until it is over for you. 

And if you are not kind to yourself it is basically a form of slow or quick suicide not to be kind to oneself.

So, if you are not kind to yourself and others don't expect to be alive at age 30. This is a given basically for most people in life.

It's not that you need to be a victim. NO. That's not it. It's that whenever it is safe enough to be kind to others it is useful to do that. But, it is ALWAYS safe to be kind to yourself so maybe that's where most people need to start being kind. And if you can be kind to yourself then it is much easier to learn to be kind to others.

This is where the saying comes from in Christianity: "Love others as yourself".

Because if you can love others like you love yourself this is a very good beginning to living a long time here on earth as a useful citizen of planet earth.
