Being kind to someone or something means that the only thing on your mind is another personβs well-being. βNicenessβ is usually something we do to make ourselves feel better.

If you held the door open for someone and said, βGood morning!β and they just walked in and ignored you and you got angry or offended, THAT is being βniceβ.
Kindness means you held that door open with no expectations other than you wanted to do something kind. Kindness means you held that door open, said good morning, and walked in behind the person without it bothering you that they said nothing.
If you follow this forum, and are walking the witchy path, then you must already want to be a kind person and are working on ways to bring that truth to fruition. Myself, being an eclectic green witch, means I am attracted to βgreenβ ways.
Green witches acknowledge magick in the most mundane things and they are usually in tune with and use nature to help aid and accomplish their spell workings and basic day to day living. Green witches are known as healers, protectors and give blessings to those in need.
If you love and respect the world around you, you will not abuse it. That same respect should be extended to people and all living things you meet daily. With this understanding comes a sense of great responsibility. This makes you a protector, a guardian, if you will. With those titles comes kindness.
Being kind does not always come easy, but with some practice, and an awareness of it, it will become easier with time. Like anything else in life, the more you practice it, the better you will become at it.
In todayβs world, we are all guilty of not showing kindness, compassion, or patience. I view my βjobβ as being a teacher/mentor/leader, which means I am here to provide insight on living a witchy life, to the best of our abilities, so that we may grow, become kinder, practice patience, and have more compassion for our community.
How you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you. There are opportunities every single day to be kind. Will you use your powers for βnicenessβ or for Kindness?
Blessed be.
