I may be wrong, but maybe some are overanalyzing this.
What makes me 'a kinder, gentler me', is the fact that when I was just 'me', I was pretty...ruthless (?) with my answering style, and got suspended...
So I came back, a little kinder, and a little gentler...

The frontal lobotomy really changed my whole attitude to life and how I treat others. Having children has taught me patience and an ability to appreciate things from moment to moment. As a parent you learn to substitute their needs and wants for your own, and I suppose that does make us kinder and gentler and less ego centric. Now, if I could just get my 10 year old son to keep his hands off my Star Wars Lego set everything would be copesetic.

Hi! 2 things, well actually 3. !) God, when I became closer to him, I really started thinking twice about things. I now feel guilty if something negative crosses my mind, because I know we're not supposed to be that way. 2) My husband of almost 22 years. He was always the nice one in the relationship, very generous and considerate and unselfish. I guess it finally rubbed off, because now I think I could give him a run for his money as being the nice one!LOL. 3) Being a person that has screwed up from time to time. It helps me to not be so judgmental, and to have empathy for people in almost every situation. People make mistakes, and I now feel bad when they get into trouble for it. I feel for them now. P.S. Good question, I will be checking back to read others answers!

I'm not kinder and gentler! I found that I was being taken advantage of too easily. Now I'm a force to be reckoned with! With a smile!

The Greeks say that pain is wisdom - perhaps it is that the challenges I have lived through (the pains) have taught me patience and kindness, or at least accentuated them.
We see the world though the lenses of our eyes and what we experience and learn along the way colors those lenses. I think the trails and tribulations of life will either sweeten or harden the soul - the difference is how we chose to react to those circumstances.

I think it's just the whole maturing process. I have learned so much through the years as I accumulate wisdom and see more clearly what I didn't hardly see at all before. I am a very different person now than I was 10 or even 5 years ago.

Age and the experience and (hopefully) wisdom that comes with it. But mostly it's having a child who needs a kind and gentle father.

Before I turned 30 I had a moment of clarity & began opening my mind.

Having made a few serious mistakes in life probably helps me understand that other people make mistakes too.
