Often than seldom I journey through the path of trying to both unpack as well as understand the concept of kindness. In my two minutes of adulthood, I have grown very fond of exploring the depths of this matter. As such, there is always a deeper longing deep within me to understand why other people fail to be kind towards others when kindness is such a fulfilling experience if I  may call it that. So in my attempt to really put into understanding a matter  so contrite yet so complex, I then began asking myself two questions : 

Is everybody born kind?
Is kindness a choice?

 I could not attempt to understand kindness without trying to at least give a response of some sort to these questions my heart kept on raising. 
 I believe everybody is born kind, it comes as part of the package of being merely human. Such as love, kindness is a quality that helps us to coexist with each other despite our differences and backgrounds. However, though we are all born with this great quality, it is a choice to live it out. Kindness is not determined by circumstances, but it is a consequence of a deeper level of intention. 

The dynamics of life may rid our hearts of kindness flowing spontaneously, because of whatever reasons we deem worthy of unkindness. However, it remains our responsibility to carry the intent to show kindness when afforded the opportunity. like love, I believe that kindness covers over a multitude of fault, it is able to shun external disdain and error. This Friday choose to be kind, not because it is easy, but be kind because you are intentional about it, regardless of background noise.
