Truthful Heart Happiness and Self- Kindness
Self- Kind or Selfish?
Selfishness & Self- Consideration
Considerate Self-Kindness
means doing what is really good for us in the Bigger Picture,
not just the short- term fix or lust for what may feel good in the moment.
If we hurt others to fulfill our own desire, we may no feel so good about it in the end,
and that can never be rue or meaningful self- kindness!

Selfish Materialism
does not buy or equal Happiness The world around us is immersed in selfish materialism, yet it seems that few are truly happy on the current track. I believe its because the selfish are ignorant as to the negatives they create within and for themselves in selfish deeds and ways. |
Selfishness vs. Self- kindness
> Self- Kindness knows that we are all connected-- & that how I treat you affects me--
and that this must be considered in the mix of what we do.
> Self- kindness connects you to love that helps you make choices that are life- giving, avoiding
compulsion or destructive acts that harm you and those around you.
Inconsiderate selfishness, I believe, will never serve the selfish person, but self- kindness serves the honest and self-kindly person as well as those around them.

Spirit has planted in us the desire for happiness along with wisdom in our hearts.
Its pursuit cannot be wrong as long as it is in moderation and in keeping with the inner wisdom. Self- Kindness considers the bigger picture and connects to the Greater Love of all humanity & the spiritual realities. |
|
Truthful Self Kindness
considers Love along with the human need and desire for love.
It considers that we are all connected and that
what I do to or for you affects me too.
The Way of true Self- Kindness is also the way of truthfulness & the Truthful Heart.

*Selfishness is ignorance. It ignores great realities and it will never gain its ends of satisfaction for the selfish.
If truthfulness is the foundation of every human virtue,*
then how can truthful Kindness possibly be selfish?

* There may be those who say that they do not suffer for being out of integrity, but that's not something I believe in much, and surely not what I am working with at all here. If you believe differently, then that is your right but this is not the place for you.
