Change judgement by kindness ( please read all and then answer ) :?

Question

have any of u tried it ???

everyday in this forum I see people talking about how right they are , about how is it that they would never do wrong and about how is it that anyone who doesn’t do as right as they say they would do not deserve forgiveness ... do not deserve a chance .... most of u may never have to go through all an immigrant has to go through in ur life , however there is a promise which I believe with all my heart and that promise being that if I can just be kind then I will , one day , receive that kindness back , that kindness which we all one day may need or might have already receive with out even knowing so .... I also know and believe too that if I only judge and I choose to be harsh to others then that kindness may not come to me but the same judgement which I gave will surely do ... I do not choose kindness because of the reward since the best reward is to know that I was kind to others and tried to actually be helpful instead of all about being “RIGHT” and saying that I would never be capable of doing wrong ...

So my questions would be :

is it better to choose kindness or to choose being “right” and never capable of doing wrong ???

And

why would THAT be ur choice ???

Please be kind ;) and Thank u ...

nobody is asking for a free pas just so u ( first answerer ) know .

razor how about being right by providing real numbers ???

i not sure if any of u have heard about the Mouse and the Lion which is a kids story about how a lion found out that sometimes helping those which we may think could never be able to help us could bring a lot to us ...

slew those which are forgiven the most are those which love the most ... think about that

great answers so far , i would like to comment that jesus is an example of lowering oneself to stop and think that non is perfect , his beliefs were based in this ... thanks again for all answers i really appreciate all .

Answer 1

I know why people all over come to America, they were poor people who were left with no voice in their country, and their countries and the US made it so these people would be forced to enter the US illegally.

They all should come in the legal way but I can understand if they don't. It's not like they are intentionally breaking the law just to break the law, for the heck of it. They come here for work, to survive, to live a better life. The ones to blame are the ones at the very top of all of this, the governments, etc.

Answer 2

Do you really care? You have decided to take time to find things in the Bible that you don't agree with then rant and rave about them. What would I need to say that would open your eyes? I could give you a clear presentation of what God has done, did, and will do but it will be a waste of time because you don't like the idea that there is a God who has rules and expects them to be followed. Suggestion, spend your time researching the hundreds of Bible prophesies that were made and all came true. Consider that the Bible is made up of 66 different books which were written over hundreds of years of time by many different authors of many different walks of life and there really isn't any contradictions. Then consider how foolish it is to believe that there was a big bang and that everything we have in this world came from that big bang. You would be much better off determining if there really is a God. Because when you realize that there is you will want to please him. If you do this I think you won't be such an angry person.

Answer 3

I have always been more than glad to hear the opinion and views of other people, even though I may not agree with them.Not everyone in this forum, even those who are very sure of their beliefs, can say that. We can't always be right, we can't always be wrong...yet it is accepting this that makes a person a better human being.


Very noble idea Game...it kind of actually made me STOP and think for a moment....

Answer 4

All people living and breathing have made wrong choices. I have been reading this immigration section for a while now and I have not seen anyone claiming that they never made a wrong choice. Making a wrong choice does not free me of responsibility for making that choice. Illegals made the wrong choice. US citizens and legal immigrants are demanding that they face the consequences of their choice. Yes there are sad stories about families BUT the illegal made a wrong choice for their families. A parent tries to teach their children right and wrong. A parent tries to teach responsibility and a parent knows that their choices will affect their children. Those bad choices are now facing the illegals in this country and they do not want to face up to that responsibility. People sit on juries around this country everyday. Most of them are kind and good people but they reach guilty verdicts that results in a person going to jail even receive a death sentence. If it is so important for them to come to this country then they must do it the right way. Return to their country and apply to come because further bad choices of staying will only mean possible deportation and not being able to come here for many years if at all.

Answer 5

Are you asking us to choose between kindness and being right? I find it difficult to weigh any decision fairly based on one criterion. When we do, we invariably ignore other relevant issues. Illegal immigration, like many of today problems is about many things and it’s not just about how it affects the immigrants. No matter how you slice it ethical decision making is never and all or nothing, one dimensional process. Once an issue becomes emotional the first thing to leave the building is reason.

I’ve seen a lot of decision making models designed to help guide the process of coming to reasonable actions. Some are very complex, but one that has been used for years successfully is the Four Way test used by Rotary. The point is that all four dimensions are measured to take into consideration all the stake holders. I don’t see righteousness or kindness having anything to do with finding the best solution?

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to ALL Concerned?
Will it Build GOODWILL and Better Friendships?
Will it Be BENEFICIAL to All Concerned?

Answer 6

No question. We have written across our family room "Life is not about doing what is easy. It is about doing what is RIGHT." We search EVERY DAY as a family for things that we can do to help others. Today: we paid a homeless man to mow our front lawn, and, gave him dinner. We took neighbor girls swimming with us while their ill parents could rest. We loaned our neighbor $5 to tip the pizza guy. LOL.

I am often wrong... I wear it as an emblem. LOL. Having to be the "winner" means someone else has to be the "loser" and I wont do that to people.....

Answer 7

A person cannot be right all of the time. Life is a matter of choices, we choose the right path but fate at times intervenes. I have been the recipient of many kindnesses, I try to always make the choice to pass that on.

Answer 8

What you say sounds sweet but is it practical and wise? When it comes to forming bonds, there is reason to be cautious." Bad company ruins character" this isn't new--studies have been going on for ages and all have been conclusive in this matter. Bad associations spoil useful habits.
The point? Even valueless people may manifest fine qualities. But if you choose them as your friends, your thinking, faith, and conduct will be affected. True, people who who do not have strong values may be responsible, decent, and caring. Yet, they do not have the motivation that you would want to build on such qualities in your own life. Sooner or later you will be affected by lowering your values. It is just the way it is. I want my entertainment or activity to be the best it can be. I hope the children of the world have the best life possible. By ignoring certain values --we are not helping them (the ones who have few true values and those they will bring down--those are facts--many ancient writers wrote about it too)
We want people who's perceptive powers is to distinguish right from wrong, in this way you will find it easier to enjoy peaceful people and life.
If I was raising children I would want them to know who will make wholesome companions. So they can be the best they can be. And usually this brings greater happiness,
That doesn't mean be mean to others--it doesn't mean you are better. But there are those who will not changed. They repeat and repeat the same valueless nature. How will they change? We have to stop supporting them. Denounce them (I think Gandhi and Jesus did this too--yet they were know for kindness--see the point? )And even than--some have issues so deep -they won't change.
Remember, good qualities come from the inside-THEY NEED TO BE TENDED AND WEEDED LIKE A GARDEN.. In an ideal world we can all be lovey dovey--but the world is not ideal. Selfishness and greed abound. I don't like it in our government or my friends. To accept it is just plain wrong. It is not a matter of never doing wrong or error--it is a matter of being a practicer of it. There is a difference

Answer 9

We have been kind to the point that now our very existence is being threatened. We are becoming so oversaturated that our system can no longer sustain anyone. That means you and me and our kids. I'm all for kindness and compassion. Bring to the table a viable option. Land mass and it's resources can oly do so much before it collapses. That is where we are at.

Answer 10

I would choose kindness over always being "right" for the reason no one is perfect nor are they always right.
