I read recently that kindness is the only virtue that can't be faked
People pretend to be good in other ways all the time, when they're really not -
But kindness is so evident that people instantly know if it's there or not

are you sure, though?
I mean, one develops a sense for it, after a while
Genuine kindness, I mean ...
I suspect what people are faking in the South is "civility"
But unkindness - in a wrapper of fake civility - is a whole other thing ...
Which part of what I wrote made you feel I was questioning your lived experience?
Yes, you have experienced people "faking kindness"-
But are your sure that what they are faking, is really kindness?
I don't have the answer
but I suspect kindness is deeper that what they're faking, + furthermore your lived experience shows that 2 be true
that's fine, too -
but I offer it as a hypothesis worth considering.
peace to you.
You’re writing from a blind spot, perhaps in a lens of privilege.
I didn’t misspeak. Kindness can be a diabolical weapon.
I hope that helps. Be well.
Where did I say you mis-spoke?
