If someone has to wonder wether they are kind; I have found they are just Not kind. They don't change unless they have a nervous breakdown, major health scare(like a TBI), or become poor(really poor).
Capitalism seems to cater to selfish individuals? A lot of selfish individuals get far financially in life. Think about some of the "successful" people, some of us, idolize here on HN. Think about that person before they became rich and famous. I can usually bring up a list of retched things they did to become financially successful.
That's the rub. They become comfortable in life and are in complete denial over how they carved their way to the top of their version of success.
That's all I have--I have a headache, but kind people know they are kind. They don't need to advertise it. They don't need an audience in order to give to the suffering (human, animals, environment). They are just kind!
Now, the Fakers--well that's what makes me unkind. Oh there are so many Fakers.
(I have a sister who stepped on family members in order to become financially successful, and her journey was ugly. I might be a little over sensitive when it comes to people and kindness.)
