Are we really running out of good,
loving, kind people?
I’ve been asking that question since I was in my 6th grade when my mom started to obsessively lecture me about being very careful in making friends or just plain talking to strangers. That there’s just so many sinister people out there, with only one purpose in life ie. to hurt others. Being an obedient daughter, I followed her instructions and had been extremely careful in choosing friends , especially acquaintances. My mom meant well with warning me, though, I reached that certain point when I wear different masks with the different group of people I come across with. Just so they cannot fully know me. I believed that they could hurt me so much if they knew me well. I became so judgmental with the personalities of the people I meet such that I told them different versions of my life story . It was awful… and chaotic those times. Filled with anxiety, loneliness and hate. Then, one time, I met a Lady who, became my manager. She helped me overcome the problems I had with trusting people. She was so kind, so generous, so honest, and so loving that I just CAN’T LIE to her. It seemed like, she can see through me so clearly that I will only have to look at her and she knew what were in my thoughts. She became my manager, mentor and friend for more than 15 months. It was a real turning point in my life such that I was able to focus and my thoughts and emotions had became so clear. I gained more friends and was no longer afraid to talk to strangers. Then I found out, there are so many really kind people out there. I’m not gullible though, but if only you’ll reach out, meet as many people as you can, and also be kind and truthful to them, you will certainly find a handful of really good friends.
One more thing I learned is that some really good people have a sort of an intuition, such that they can FEEL if you like them or not. If you open up, they’ll do too. If you need someone to talk to, they’ll generously give up some of their precious time just so they can listen and help. It is indeed a wonderful blessing to be able to meet and have really kind friends.
This is not to devalue prudence in having relationship with other people, but this is just to stress out the fact that there are still KIND GOOD PEOPLE out there. The time, money and other resources that you may have that you will spend to find just one of them is all worth it. Just NEVER GIVE UP !!!
