Why aren’t more people genuinely kind?

[Anonymous]

if they were, they would actually care about you and let’s be honest the number of people in the world who really care about you is very limited

A lot of people think they're kind, but real kindness costs something time, effort, vulnerability, accountability.

Most people avoid that level of emotional work.

Some are guarded.

Some are distracted by their own problems.

Some only give kindness when it benefits them.

And yes, the number of people who truly care about you is small.

But that’s why their presence matters, genuine care is rare, not because people are bad, but because most are busy surviving, not connecting.

Real kindness is intentional.

And intentional people are never the majority.

I don't know. I don't know if I need to know. It's like I don't need to know why my tire went flat before I can fix it. I try to look at it that way. So I just try to be kind. Just to give a smile or say "hi". 'Cuz I do care. (Well, don't you live in a Disney film, Random)

And if other people aren't kind what can I do? Nothing. So let them be grumpy, old fucks who will die sad and lonely when they don't have to. I feel sad for them actually. But it won't stop me from having the best day I can. Life is good. I have fun with it. 😊

People are really bad. One time I was hearing someone say that well only 5% of people are bad the rest are good. I would flip that and add 4%. Human beings will hit a little kid with a car before they worry about slowing down to have compassion. People also gang up on each other and operate in clicks. If your able to have one good friend in your life that’s amazing

focusing on their own problems. They're not necessarily bad people but they need to focus on it more. Most people have to strive to be a kinder person. I am not naturally a nice guy, but I try, and hopefully I can make some peoples days

People are often too busy or worried about their lives to care about others.

it is a tough world and being kind gets you nowhere.

parental training.

Why aren't angry baboons more kind?

[Still-alive]

[Asker]

[Still-alive]

[jahaims]

Because most people are selfish and underdeveloped

Human nature is to be selfish and greedy.
