"Tell me, in your own truth, does true kindness actually exist?"

"Yes."

"Does it? Or is it because we want to gain favor? Or something like because believe if something to happen next in case we do something good? Or something like because someone asks us to do it?"

"Yes."

"Then it's not true kindness at all. We just become kind because we wanted something in return. We just become kind because someonr asked us to. Can we even call it kindness?"

"It's great kindness to make someone feel grateful to have ever lived, be it for a mere moment or even have them, at least, think that even there exist all of the many atrocities and misfortunes happening everywhere around us, the world can be beautiful."

"But that's not the point I'm getting at. I'm saying that the kindness people do are superficial. They are not doing it unconditionally."

"Be it not unconditionally. They may be aware or unaware that they are making this world beautiful. The gains kind people received is not the main point. In the bigger picture, it is never the point."

"Then what is?"

"I heard a great actor once said: the world is cruel, it does not have to be ugly."
