Kindness When It Is Not Due

Love is a great accomplishment
Love that is neutral

You love
Even when love is not welcomed

You love
Even when love is rejected

What is kindness
When kindness is not due

Love
Neutral love

The type of love
That only saints have achieved

The type of love
Of the greatest spiritual leaders

A mothers love
Is also very similar

Love
When the child becoming independent

Love
When the child wants to leave home

Love
When the child moves away

Love
When the child chooses the wrong friends

Love
When the child underperforms

Love
Love that is filled with pure patience

Love
Love that does not judge

Love
Love that always understands

You cannot be the saint
If you continue to be the sinner

The sinner
That judges

The sinner
That offends

The sinner
That becomes angry

The sinner
That holds on to the past

The past
That makes you react

The past
That hides the present from your eyes

The past
That makes you hate

Remember kindness
When you think kindness is not due

It may surprise you
It might startle your mind

It may give you one moment
It might just make you change your mind

One moment of kindness
That helps you to stay present

Present
In the moment

Present and aware of everything
Everything that is happening now

Forgiving what is long gone
Offering understanding without reacting

Helping others to not judge
To not judge others that have been hurt

The origin of most hate
Is pain from being hurt by another

Hate is a reactionary emotion
Held on to for lifetimes

A reaction of the mind
That jumps out at any time

A monster within you
Defending you from pain and suffering

Emotional pain caused by another
Physical pain caused by another

Kindness when it is not due
May help you to rewire your brain

To love those
That scare your mind

To accept those
That make you remember the past

The past of this lifetime
Or the past of a prior lifetime

A very strong reaction to a conversation
May be a deeply rooted defense mechanism of the mind

You must release all of this
To help you to love neutrally

Love
To love all neutrally

All
Every single life

To love all that are not due love
To love all that caused you pain
