Being nice is a self discipline thing, being kind is actually caring about others. Kind people do not do good just because it's good, they do it because they want to.
@@Boingo1625 Everyone could, including me. That doesn’t mean people aren’t already kind but they couldn’t be even kinder than they already are. I consider myself that way and i still want to go further with it
Once it becomes nature for you, you do not think of what good to do, you start being generally kind. I don't really think of "I'm gonna go help that old lady cross the street, because it's a good thing", I am instinctively helping other, friends and strangers alike. The issue is that you must have the awareness of it, so you don't end up used by people that would exploit your kindness. For example with kindness alone raising a kid will turn him into spoiled brat, thus knowing how to say no is important.
Not really a religious person myself, but I still dig the overall message of this video! Kindness over "niceness" is indeed a very good value to live by! Take my like
i met so meany thugh that do very nice things then say "this is how you get your blessings" in otherwords ONLY being "good" for a reward. seems very few even less than say those who belive choose to be kind for sakeness of kind. yet from logic of bible that person will still be flung to hell.
@@nightmarerex2035 being kind to others for show is a form of pride, thus not a true act of faith from the heart. Usually, good works done through the heart, in private, have merit to God
One thing I do when I am in public and find myself feeling negative towards others is this….I simply imagine what their faces would look like if they were smiling. When I visualize them smiling it humanizes them. It immediately changes my thoughts and feelings towards them and I begin to feel so much love and compassion towards them.
I had this friend that gave me kindness. She was someone that made me feel important, and made me feel like I had self worth. She was extremely kind to me, and an amazing friend. So kind, that I started to fall in love with her. I told her I liked her, and she rejected me, and we stopped talking. I feel broken after that, but when I get better, I want to pass on that kindness that she gave me because I know how great it felt.
Same story but from a different part of the world. I want to see my old love (I miss her and her existence) but I have exams and also I am scared to idea of encountering her. It is like is not alive anymore because I love her version of 2023 and she is no longer exist. I just want to share my story with you because I empathized with you. Have a nice day stanger in the internet (also sorry if my English is bad)
People who are nice have brought dissonance to me since i was a kid. At first i didn't understand why i felt that way.. i was asking myself : why do i feel like this when they're being nice to me? But as i got a bit older i started realizing why, and seeing through the fakeness of being nice. Kindness on the other hand, now that is something so pure and beautiful, it will make any person light up and feel better.
I hear you... Growing up being "nice" on the outside but empty & sick within had not only led me to question myself what it really meant to be kind and to challenge them even... but to even be fed up with dealing with "nice" & indifferent people while hearing their lamentations coming out of their hearts in diguise of defending against each other on the table. I will either numb the anguish heart of the Lord for them at times, or, just help them without being seen or asked. Which I think that was more likely a coping mechanism to flick or test if there was even kindness (you know what I mean) in heart. Sometimes, just tell them plainly the truth at heart a bit observing them... my eyes undeniably dislike. Deep down, I just long for at least one person to be open to the truth & love of Christ only God knows (I.e. so far not hearing any testimony from anybody I talk to). I may not even know what I'd get out of from giving a free box of pizza I got to a Malay cleaner who only understood Malay better... but, I can trust only God, who knows and has the right to be compassionate with her or not. Thus... it's unexpectedly relief that there were even those in Heaven for having the least bit of kindness in them. The Bible in the book of Matthew chap 25 backs up this fact from the video.
I'm definitely cold and cynical and I pass a lot of indifference to people. But I am getting worse to the point where I don't feel any positive emotion at all anymore. I know I need a change. I'm glad I found this video. Thanks.
I found that I feel my worst when I haven’t been kind to others because I was annoyed or mad at myself but I also found that I am happiest when I’m showing kindness to others. I don’t blame you for where you are right now as everyone experiences valid struggles but I hope you’re feeling more positive as a person now. The thing is, kindness is something that spreads and so a lot of the time, people who are cynical and cold could be good hearted people who didn’t receive kindness. So if you didn’t really have anyone in your life who you filled you with sunshine, then I’m sorry about that. I guess this shows that a lot of the time, kindness is there to aid people who are feeling negative so that they can feel positive and spread it to others. It’s ok to be indifferent sometimes but kindness is better and if you have the opportunity to share it with others, do it! Because that helps them to become kinder too if they are struggling somewhere in life. Anyway, I’m glad you found this video cause you have your own valuable way of showing care to others. I hope that you are able to surround yourself with kind people and can find the strength to be kind to others.
I actually really like your style of teaching. Your voice is calming but has an air of humble authority. You’re logical but you seem to recognize that logic isn’t all that makes the world beautiful. I love your stories and the way you tell them. I love your videos too, they entertain me, make me laugh, and make me think at the same time. They are easy to digest but have a level of spiritual depth I really appreciate. Your media style (the sounds, the animation, the graphics, etc) also provides a rich and hypnotic experience. You make me want to seek out God in a way I have been looking for. Please keep up the good work, I’d love to see more! 🙏 ✨🤍
I think part of what helps me with kindness is not thinking about it too much. If I’m doing something for someone, there’s no reason for me to make a big deal over it. The less of a big deal it becomes, the easier and more natural it becomes because it becomes the norm.
There was this study made with little kids, where adults do something like drop a pencil, and the children's impulse is almost always to empathize and help, like taking the pen and giving to the person who droped it. Very cute. It's natural to empathize with our fellow humans, we just have to not put any barriers and it will most likely come
@@alma801the way that I do it is to just accept it as something that has happened, know that we can’t change the past, even if they regret it, and then find a way to move on. That might be by apologising to them even if I didn’t do anything wrong, or by finding a reason that they did it so that I can empathise with them. Don’t hold a grudge, it will ruin the possibility of a relationship with them.
Kindness is a simple yet difficult topic. Kindness that isn't about yourself but just about doing the right thing for the right reasons. The thorns from the world and from sin sometimes seem to suffocate any kindness that may be trying to flourish. Loving yourself is difficult too. How to love yourself without becoming self-absorbed and all those other evil things a person can become.
I think there’s an incredible sort of quiet power that comes with being extremely kind. It’s crazy, when you take the love that God freely gives to you and reflect It onto people like that it gives you this weird, powerful presence that really allows you to touch people’s hearts. Especially when someone does something hurtful to you, and you reach out to them with genuine kindness and understanding even in spite of how they tried to hurt you… It’s hard to describe but it really makes people stop and think about what they’re doing. The people that lash out at others and hurt others the most are usually the ones that need love the most- it’s like trying to reach your hand out to a stray hungry dog shivering in a corner in an alley. It’ll try to bite your hand and it’ll snarl at you, but really it’s just hurting and scared, and in need of a little kindness. P.S: I discovered your channel through tiktok and I’m now binging your content on here and I love your videos man. I really think God is working through you to better the world, and that’s something to be extremely proud of. By the way I also judge food based on how much the bag ends up weighing- if you ever end up eating at chipotle, you can get double portions of everything besides the meat for free.
Amen. Thank you friend. Once again, very well said. And thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate the encouragement. God bless you... And I am going to chipotle now just to test tha. Ha!
@@Lauren-vd4qe indulging someone in their illness is neither nice nor kind. One cannot be nice or kind without the discernment when 'no' is appropriate, when 'no' is called for. Inability to say no is anything but kindness, let alone niceness
How To Be Simply Saved 1. The bad News. We are sinners. (Romans 3:23.) We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins. 2. The Good News. Jesus Christ who is God's Son died on the cross for all of your sins. He was buried & rose again to give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Romans 6:23.) 3. How am I saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:31.) 4. Once saved, always saved. Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Do you believe that you are saved by grace and promised heaven because Jesus died for you? Yes_No_
@@asyriahb9538 Some people don't want to be saved by that god. And who knows if anything in the bible is truthful? Sure, I think there's a god but, I just can't be convinced it happened as the bible says.
@@Narasthenics many christians say that christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship. it is a relationship between you and God. many people see him as a best friend but i see him as my father (he is described like that in the bible) so i read the bible almost everyday and pray (having a converstion) everyday. if you ever feel alone just speak to him. call him God, Jesus, Yaweh (there are more names but search it on the internet) anyways God bless you
This helped me a lot. I realized that im very self centered when it comes to my inside desires and thoughts but on the outside im a "nice" person. When im caught up with myself and what I want I lose that part of myself that is kind and empathetic.
This is exactly how I've been thinking about it! Some people can be nice, but superficially, you can quite literally feel the animosity that they have towards you. Kindness is the real thing. Niceness ≠ Kindness.
I’m an atheist, but I do really like the way you bring the topic of God: it feels genuine and that makes me happy. I’m striving to bring more kindness to the world, and I just wanted to say I appreciate how you brought the importance of kindness. I hope your day will be filled with kindness. It means everything 💙
Pointers for the spiritually uninterested: - try to be helpful - be patient - share your experience - inquire about the other person's experience - stay away if the other people seem to not want any of that That is in my experience so far is what kindness is, a form of trust.
I struggle with this, I want to be kind person and to take an interest in other people because I know that is what is right but it is under the guise of nice and seems transactional. Can you move from selfishness, fake niceness to kindness? I feel so fake with people and struggle to empathise with them, I'm always amazed at people like my Mum who genuinely seems interested in people and kindness is what she gives. That's her superpower alright!
passing on kindness takes practice and patience to look at someone and treat them as a genuine person. the anatomy of peace by the harbinger institute was a good book to explain this.
I once had a partner who at the time of our break up would wipe my tears and provide me with support, but when asked to explain his issues with me he would turn into an unempathetic and cold person. He didn't do it as an act of revenge but he had never learned to forgive people, or have peace in his soul. It struck me when I realized that his "care" was coming from his need to be labelled as a supporter. People like that will behave like a helper to one for their own self fulfilment. As the video said they will cherish you but on the inside they may not care at all. I learned the difference between kindness and niceness early on because of that and i am very glad it is being talked about from this youtuber.
Dude, you have a gift. This is my third video of yours and I've experienced the grace of tears twice. Your style, both with animation and storytelling in general, is so profound and cuts right to the heart of the matter you're trying to discuss. The Holy Spirit is reaching people thru you. Keep it up, and God bless you.
Exactly this! I also think being "nice" results in you lacking boundaries and saying "yes" to things because its "proper" and socially acceptable to do everything that everybody asks of you, regardless of wether youre capable or not. Essentially "sacrificing your needs for other people's wants". But with kindness, you are more capable of making boundaries and sometimes saying "no" to certain expectations in order to take care of yourself and your mental health. Saying "no" so others cant take advantage of your "niceness". Being able to set proper boundaries and know when to say "yes" and when to say "no".
You know out of all your videos this one relates to me the most. When I was a child, I was fully kind, I was a bit of a menace and definitely had my rotten moments but kindness was my strongest perk. I always had to cheer people up, make them happy or just help anyway I could. But over time the world and its people got to me and nearly snuffed it out for good. I became cold and heartless but deep down I knew that's who I still was, I just had no reason to show it anymore. It's not until about a year ago I started to try and become what I once was as a kid, and I've never been closer. it's hard tho, because as a kid I would just chat to anyone, even strangers, I really did try and treat everyone as if they where me, I would walk up to lonely kids I didn't know and offer to play with them, I would buy sweets and offer it to random kids, even adults like teachers. But I'm nearly 20 now and there's many things I want to do but I would just be looked at as a creep, or that "Stay away from strangers" guy. Like if I saw a lonely kid, or even just a lonely adult playing basketball or something, I want to walk up and join them but people just don't like that, or have a fear of that. So it's hard to be truly kind but there's no reason not to be fully kind In all the ways society accepts, you know. Whoever reads this, just make it a goal to show some kindness to 1 or more people every chance you get, if your the silent type, just say "Hey, you alright" to someone your walking past or waiting in queue with, I try to do this and people just smile and usually say "Hey I'm good thanks" and that's it, but I like to think they go home thinking about that kind stranger who asked if they where ok. Remember, kindness if free, doesn't cost anything to give it.
I gotta believe, I'm just a nice person. I don't care about anyone really. I just act good as I believe in Karma. Karma says, 'What you do, comes back to you.' So, I just act kind for my own personal gains.
i've spent a long time trying to be kinder than i was, and sometimes it's really hard. but, man, you just have to keep going. trust me. it's all worthwhile when you're in bed thinking about your day. keep going
I never thought about the difference between kindness Vs niceness. However, YOU have TERRIFIC hack of creating VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING content, and I LOVE IT! IYOU make videos that are entertaining , relatable while teaching at the same time, which I LOVE! I HOPE u read this so u KNOW how YOUR context makes i, and I’m POSITIVE MANY MANY other people self reflect For us seeking to be a better person bc there is ALWAYS room for improvement! You also give ideas on HOW and WHERE to start when wanting to do the things mentioned in ALL your videos. YOUR videos are DEFINITELY like pebbles thrown in the water, never knowing how far your impact has travelled and the changes that have Occurred at a result. PLEASE keep those pebbles coming! Because I and SOOO MANY other people sure will be watching for them to drop in the water and willing to ride the waves that come! Once again, u provide a PHENOMENAL perspective! U may not be the WONDERFUL women at McDonalds but as u said, we each have our own unique way. So for anyone questions if God is real, just look at the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of ways where something like kindness if delivered differently by each and every person! Yet, the word “Kindness” is just one word that can is STILL IS shown differently by EVERY PERSON WHO HAS LIVED! it’s truly magical and I’m personally in AWE of just that ALONE! God is EVERYWHERE u just have to stand back and try to look at things like child would bc they are amazed by a simple flower. We don’t have to lose that wonder and amazement as we get older…we just have to work at keeping it! Thank YOU SO MUCH! God bless you ALL!
I’m Atheist but derive some of my beliefs from Buddhism and I do love Jesus’s teachings. I try to practice confident kindness everyday and I think what really pulls me out of times of despair, is when I’m able to truly forgive and humanise the other person, practicing gratitude for the good things and surrounding myself with other loving people as much as possible. When we’re inevitably faced with people who bring us down, I don’t think we should feel pressure to act perfectly - sometimes our anger and hurt is justified, and forgiving ourselves can cultivate forgiveness for others. I’m able to be kind when I don’t take their actions to heart and when I remember that sometimes the most “unlovable” people need love the most (as long as we don’t sacrifice our hearts too much). It’s an incredibly powerful and spiritual force ❤
Just discovered this channel from a TikTok video. You make some of the best content I’ve seen in a long time and the explanation, narration and visuals are all spot on. God bless
I love your channel. I just really wanted to share something with you . My parents raised me to be an amazing person, i am a really nice person and my heart is so BIG i promise. But all these years i been pushed to the side, everytime i was around people trynna share an opinion everyone used to ignore me. Long story short. I said “used” because the world made me careless, hearless, and now im fighting alone every single day of my life with my own thoughts. Telling myself not good enough and the sadness it’s eating me every single day every second. I want to tell the people who are watching this. Watch out because you don’t know what people are going through with themselves everyday. Love your Amazing work. May god bless you!!!
sounds like you need to take an assertiveness class, yes they do exist!! and WHAT do you tell yourself? I dont get weepy when someone treats me poorly or ignores me, I SPEAK UP and internally i think SCREW YOU!! I get MAD, i dont get sad! sad puts you in a black hole, but mad drives you forward, use it to functionally correct them, then GO FORWARD, go do something, visit someone, do errands, just GO FORWARD!
These videos introduce the gospel in ways that are relatable and easy to understand... I would love contribute in anyway I can... Great work and keep on spreading love!
Brother, I just want to thank you for making this video. It somehow made it to my recommendations even after a year. This video made me realize that I’ve been lukewarm in my walk with Jesus, and that’s more than likely the reason why I haven’t turned into a kinder person even after these years of “serving” him. This video lead me to pray for the biggest sin I’ve overlooked until now, so I thank you for that too. This channel will be a blessing to many others too, I know it😊
Ive been struggling with depression lately and your videos gave me a lot to reconsider in my life If you ever feel like youre underrated, please know that your content does so much for people who really need it
Here too. I struggle greatly with kindness even though I've been a "Christian" for decades now. I haven't been formally diagnosed, but I think I may be on the Autism spectrum (I don't care who knows). My whole life I've never really even had the desire to make friends or socialize with anyone, am often indifferent or easily irritated by people, especially in my family. I know *about* God's love, especially about Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, but I've never been able to fully *process* it or experience it to lead me to true repentance. I find praying difficult for the same reason; I don't feel like I ever connect or experience His presence. Please pray for me! 😢
@@ebinrock Prayed for you, my friend. Lord Jesus, you see this person who realizes the difference between knowing about You, and knowing You. You have heard their cry to be able to truly repent and receive Your love. This is already a wonderful revelation You've given them. Not many people who are nominal Christians realize this. You must love this person, Lord. I ask that in addition to the revelation of need that You have given them, that You would give them a revelation of Your grace, of salvation, of repentance, of love, of growth, of kindness, of Your Spirit, and of Your heart. Grace them with the fullness of joy that You have given Your people, and change them into Your image increasingly. Pray my friend! Keep praying. The Lord hears one who won't stop asking, seeking, and knocking. Love you!
This video talks about something I’ve been dealing with for a while. Yesterday I finally think I reached a breakthrough and now today I received this amazing gift of a video. Everything abut this video is just perfect the me; The animations, the sound effects… Wow. God bless you man⭐
There was this one message I got from a skit, “Love isn’t a feeling, its what you do for others DESPITE how you feel” And its one of the most important lessons that I still have trouble applying to life with. Honestly this video was a reality check, and it’s genuinely made me rethink of how Ive been treating others. So thank you.
These kinds of videos are the kind of videos to not die out, a kind of video that has actual meaning and impactfulness and thought behind it. I know this because even a year later it's on my recommended. I wish more people then a mere hundred thousand would take the time too look at this video, and more then few thousand that actually have this video impact there lives for the better by remembering it and passing it on. when we see something happening we imprint on the people around us whether it be mad, happy, ect. most people find it impossible to be happy when all others are just going about there day, neutral, boring, plain, because by society's standards being happy for no reason is weird, it's wrong, which is really sad.
"my kindness dosent have to look like anyone else's, we each have our own very unique type of kindness, we just have to find it." This hit home. I've been struggling with being naturally kind to people and all this time I thought to myself that somethings really wrong with me and I can never be as kind as other people in my life which ended up making me criticise myself for being fake and people pleaser when all I ever wanted to do was spread positivity and help people make their day more brighter. It's just I'm not used to expressing it as openly as the people I compare myself to do it.
My parents always taught me to be kind and humble, and so I try every day, but throughout life I've learned that isn't everyone's mentality. For me, being nice and kind comes natural, for me being kind is an obvious thing, but I've noticed how that is not the case for a lot of people. For them being nice is a burden, they go through their day thinking of how to ruin someone's life because of the slightest offense; I never understood. I've come to the realization, a lot of behaviors not only come from you as a person, but from the way you were raised. This world needs more kindness, I still feel sad about how incredibly surprised people get when they meet, and I quote "such a bright teenager", I always thought we all were, and I'm just left confused, are teens really like the movies, cause I always thought that was utterly and entirely unrealistic, do teens really yell at their parents like that, do they really rebel that much? And for what. This world need kindness.
I feel you so much, you reminded me of a time I was walking to my lectures and there was this old lady that stopped me and asked me where our presidency was, cause she needed to go there. Since my lectures were happening right near where she needed to go instead of giving her directions i suggested that i could walk her to where she needs and so we did. She layed all of her sadness to me, we even took a couple breaks, since of an old age she couldn't walk for long periods of time. I knew that i was already late to my lectures, but i put all that aside, my priority was this nice old woman. After I led her to the presidency she told me how kind i was and how she will pray for me and i really felt the same way you just described, why was I an exeption, why aren't there more kind young people who would prioritise helping others more often. I'm a person who's really introvert and i actually don't like it when even the slightest attention is brought to me, but when it came to that grandma, i just stopped caring and i just hugged her and wished her well with all my heart. It made me happy that i could of been someone who did something good to another human being, yet at the same time i felt dissapointed at our societies and how especially nowadays we're brought up to look only for ourselves.
Thank you for the clarity. I see now my heart must be overflowing with love for myself and everything around me and others and my words will follow. I had it backwards.
I just discovered this channel a few days ago and it's soooo well made. I was having struggle with the topic of the problem of evil and his video about it just popped in my recommandations at the same period
That's God providing you with what you need. He's so cool like that. I've experienced Him answering me through people, His word, and signs, but lately, He has been putting things in my feed that are exactly what I've prayed for, been struggling with, or needed help with. I've been overwhelmed with the evil in this world and didn't know what or how to pray about it, and his video on pray popped up. It was just what i needed. Don't know if you watched that one, but if not, you should.
I started to tear up realising kindness can only come from the heart. Here i’m thinking it is doing what is right, but it’s not kindness if it’s not from the heart right? Because I dont believe some of my actions were really genuine, i’m just acting that way to impact that person positively. It’s the right move but it’s not ‘kindness’ for it not being genuine.
Your videos are so interesting and informative and are in an amazing format that keeps me coming back. You’re extremely underrated and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. Please don’t stop making videos!!
Thank you for this video! It really got me to think about if my actions were actually kind or if I’m just people pleasing. You have a real gift for making videos
I think it can be even harder to be kind after people have been cruel and mean towards you, but... Maybe we should all strive to be kind anyway. I admire people who manage to stay kind no matter how much cruelty they have endured in their life
"Let your kindness shine." This seems to allude to "Let your light so shine." Substituting the word Light with Kindness here makes so much sense. I was literally thinking "Wow, that sounds like the Light of Christ" and then you mentioned Jesus. Thank you for this message in this way. I have been nice but am often hardened or self-centered out of fear. I would like to become consistently kind again.
So simply and wonderfully put. If I may add on a lesson my parents taught me. We can only control our own actions and reactions. When someone else is cruel or passes on something they shouldn't, we have the choice to hang onto it or to set it down. While that person's hands are empty, fill them with kindness. Your reserves will fill right back up. I promise. I'm one of those kind people who gets told I light up rooms and fill people with sunshine. You can be too! It's a choice. It's a daily self discipline. Start small but be intentional and practice daily, even if only in your head. Choose not to grasp onto the yuck others toss around. Eventually, you won't even see it anymore! Life becomes bright and cheery and beautiful. If you don't know Jesus, please seek Him out. He changed my world and allowed me to have the best worldview. He can do that for you, too!
thank you for reminding me of the purpose we all have but always forget. Looking back, every time I saw the good in everyone, I felt the best way I've ever felt. I think we should start encouraging one another instead of constantly judging. It's difficult but if we all work together, it's gonna be easy.
How awesome it is to come across this when God's telling me to take a stand! God bless you for what you do! I'm still battling my own shyness, but I see things are coming along slowly!
Your videos are like no other I’ve seen. From the amount of time to the tone of your voice. God knows what he was doing when I found your channel. I love you. Be safe.
Amazing as always! Your ability to create simplicity from such intelligence is so powerful. I am so excited to see new videos and to watch this channel grow. What a blessing to be blown away by a new video and to see growth of subscribers and likes and knowing that more people are being blessed by these messages. It’s hard to imagine that anyone, regardless of their feelings and beliefs about God and even how hard life may seem for them in the moment, will not be moved and become hungry to know more. The first step in their lives being changed 🙏
Dana. You’re an answer to a prayer. You have no idea. 🙏 God is certainly with you. Thank you for all your comments, they lifted me. I am nothing without God. Please Pray for me and this small ministry that it may grow. God bless you always.
I never really comment on videos, but I just wanted to let you know that your channel is amazing and is helping me to grow in my faith. Thank you so much for you videos and know that they’re actually being used to change lives❤️❤️
I just found your channel and it’s absolutely grate! You are really doing an incredible job, please keep on going. I’ll prey for you from Spain. God bless you
Hey I really love the message you put out and it really brings me so much happiness to know that someone out there is putting out what I’ve been always hoping to say but could never really formulate into words. Much love
This is a great video. I am 43 yrs old. I am in the process of a nasty divorce and my business is falling apart. Yet I still find people interesting and intriguing. I am the guy that can strike up a conversation with just about anyone anywhere. I genuinely like people and am very interested in what they find important. I went into a field that works with Autistic Children and teaching them how to communicate. I struggle with people thinking or behaving in a way that confuses me. I could have some autistic traits myself. Being kind to someone and truly not wanting anything in return other than a positive interaction seems to be uncomfortable for others. People seem to place their motivations, and negative experiences on my interactions with them over time. They tend to think or imply I am out to get something from them. What ever that may be. Because of these responses I have recently started to reduce my interactions with people, yet I still find joy in listening and speaking to others. It does get difficult when small kindness aren’t wanted or returned these days.
I relate so much to what you said about reducing interactions with people because of negative experience, i understand you completely, I am an extrovert myself and I too like people but I had to start to become very serious, mindful and start to guard my heart because my kindness is always mistaken for a weakness and not only that but I was also subjected to slander, accusations because of my character. Not saying that I am perfect, some Saint, but I like people and this lack of reciprocity is draining me so much. This is mind blowing what world we are living in! People are complaining about how selfish society become, but when someone genuinely friendly came along with no agenda attached - he or she is going to be labeled as a loser who is asking to be taken advantage of. Smh!! I could write a book about it, lol. But we must be mindful and not allow to crush our spirit, and so we become numb or actually part of 3 Tm3, Micah7 society!!! We must be wise… Btw, I am also from educational field… Sorry about your divorce and business, I am wishing you all the best! Greetings!
My heart is cloudy. But that's only because I like cloudy skies. Cloudy with a hint of sun, like beams of light piercing through curtains. Peaceful yet desolate, waiting and searching at the same time. The clouds which represent my ability to defend, prevent. And the mass of stars in the night sky that show me the concept of infinity, a personal oath to myself that I will withstand whatever my next challenges are, because there is always more of me. Then the Sun which drifts across the sky, illuminating my land of memories with consciousness; that which gives power to my will. And the ocean that stretches indefinitely, unbound by concept, the understanding that there will, without doubt, be more. Lastly, the land which stretches out moment by moment, seeking to encompass the entirety of the infinite ocean; the manifestation of my memory, that which directs the path of my will, "me". Little by little, my land grows across this neverending ocean, protected by clouds, enduring by the glimmer of faraway stars, driven by the bright sun, towards the end of the ocean. That is the representation of my journey through life, hidden within my heart. As well as the world which I show to others when I talk.
Bro. You probably won't even read this message, but I have to thank you for this video. Like, a lot. First of all, I'm graduating in Philosophy. I was never really a good person; in fact, when I look to the past, I see a monster. Recently, a lot of really hard and catastrophic stuff happened in my life and so I woke up to the reality: i was a bad person, and after those events I could see it. Two years ago, I started looking for a path to become a good person. To be kind. But I always found my evil nature coming again and making everything difficult for me. In your concepts, even though I found this evil nature in myself everyday, I was nice. Look, I started studying Philosophy for the purpose of becoming a kind person - so, as you can imagine, my main interest is Ethics. Thing is: I found a "plot hole" in my Ethics, something I always tried to find and repair, because of this video. Somehow, I never really believed I could be a genuinely kind person, even though I always thought that, to be genuinely kind, one should get in really hard stuff. This is the plot hole in my Ethics: if I can become genuinely kind after going through tough things... why can't I believe I can become a genuinely kind person? It makes no sense. Never could see it, but with your help I was able to understand it. I wasn't seeing any progress in my kindness lately. Found myself stuck on a mid-level, exactly because I didn't know what I should work on; I couldn't see where I was failing. Now I can. Really appreciate it, brother. You woke me up again.
The Lord made me kind, I was nice, very nice in fact but my heart wasn't truly forgiving. Now it is and I am in complete peace. It's unimaginable that this even exists. I always thought that problems in life will find their way to take us down but I am always positive now.
Your videos have helped me a lot, I just moved into an apartment and going back to school but I just feel awful. I sometimes feel life is bland, boring and just awful, but you are helping me change my perspective on it, with God of course.
This is so GREAT BRO!!! You have such a gift!! I am so glad I stumbled on this video! And I’m even MORE glad that you are using it for the Lord! I am now subscribed!! ❤❤
As something of a videomaker myself, I see all the work that goes into making this one as a form of kindness. Thank you, brother. Oh, and that image of God's intense heart... That was quite something. I was typing this comment when I saw you showed it again in the end. Thank you.
Feels like you're passning on the responsibility, by asking gid to make your heart kind... But hey, you're trying to be a kind person. THAT'S beautiful.
Belief systems have served as guiding principles throughout human history, offering structure and moral frameworks. However, these systems shouldn't inhibit the exercise of rational thinking and independent thought. For individuals struggling with expressing emotions or managing mental health issues, professional help is not just beneficial, but often essential.
I have recently met some incredible and truly kind people in my life, and getting to know them has been an honor... and a knife in my side. I can feel them becoming a bigger part of my life because of how much they have helped me, but I don't feel worthy. I can't return the favor of kindness like they can and it feels like I'm letting them down. I want them to know me as a friend who will be there for them, but I can't be that person. I feel all of my friends slipping away, some of them have seemed to have already given up on me and I don't blame them. I haven't wronged them in any way, but I know that they deserve a true friend. I've trapped myself in a cycle for the year trying to change, and the more I try to fit into that mold the more confused I become, unsure of whether I'm trying to be somebody else, or who I used to be. I keep telling myself I'm being dramatic, but I know there's more to it. Love won't have me and there is something wrong with me, I'm wrong. I hope one day they will understand, but I won't let them forgive me.
It was eye opening to see the your vision on ones approach to life, I used to think it was black and white (positive and negative) but to see indefrance as a state of being made me realize my own failure to myself and the people around me that I love. I belive that in order to achieve any form of true kindness it isn't down by looking to someone (god) but to look within yourself and observe your interactions as well as your mood. There is no one way to change for the better, but all ways require ones self to be willing and humble to seek that change.
i was too kind once. i shared my code during a CS class with one of my friends, who was about to fail the class. i trusted him to only use it as reference, but he copied every single fucking part of it, and turned it in a day before me. fortunately, the teacher had been paying attention to both of us, so he knew that it was my work. he failed the 'friend' and we never talked again.
5:22 looks like codependency. If you indiscriminately give yourself away to people who don't care about you in an attempt to be kind, you will be taken advantage of-or worse. Instead of putting your faith in things outside yourself, you need to learn to love yourself first. You have to put in the work...no one is going to do it for you. No one is going to replace your heart. You have to dig down, get to know yourself, and learn to love who you are. Until then, any "love" you give is selfish.
This video came at just the right time for me as I’ve been contemplating how genuine I am. Just as the title says, whether I’m being nice (for face) or truly kind. I think I need to boil it down to spreading God’s love and keeping that idea in my heart and head just as you said. I want to grow more in faith, so thanks for spreading this message of love ❤️
Being nice is a self discipline thing, being kind is actually caring about others. Kind people do not do good just because it's good, they do it because they want to.
Looks like I need to learn how to be nicer and kinder
@@Boingo1625 Everyone could, including me. That doesn’t mean people aren’t already kind but they couldn’t be even kinder than they already are. I consider myself that way and i still want to go further with it
Being nice means being ignorant. You should know etymology of words before using them.
I disagree with the last part. You should do good because it's good AND you should want exactly that
Once it becomes nature for you, you do not think of what good to do, you start being generally kind. I don't really think of "I'm gonna go help that old lady cross the street, because it's a good thing", I am instinctively helping other, friends and strangers alike. The issue is that you must have the awareness of it, so you don't end up used by people that would exploit your kindness. For example with kindness alone raising a kid will turn him into spoiled brat, thus knowing how to say no is important.

One thing I do when I am in public and find myself feeling negative towards others is this….I simply imagine what their faces would look like if they were smiling. When I visualize them smiling it humanizes them. It immediately changes my thoughts and feelings towards them and I begin to feel so much love and compassion towards them.
That's a really good advice
Everyone wants to be happy, safe, free, etc. Some people just get really, really messed seeking it in the wrong ways.
You just gave me the best advice I've ever heard! I'm definitely doing this from now on 😊 thank you
That's amazing advice!!! Thank you so much
Thank you!!
I had this friend that gave me kindness. She was someone that made me feel important, and made me feel like I had self worth. She was extremely kind to me, and an amazing friend. So kind, that I started to fall in love with her. I told her I liked her, and she rejected me, and we stopped talking. I feel broken after that, but when I get better, I want to pass on that kindness that she gave me because I know how great it felt.
Same story but from a different part of the world. I want to see my old love (I miss her and her existence) but I have exams and also I am scared to idea of encountering her. It is like is not alive anymore because I love her version of 2023 and she is no longer exist. I just want to share my story with you because I empathized with you. Have a nice day stanger in the internet (also sorry if my English is bad)
People who are nice have brought dissonance to me since i was a kid. At first i didn't understand why i felt that way.. i was asking myself : why do i feel like this when they're being nice to me?
But as i got a bit older i started realizing why, and seeing through the fakeness of being nice.
Kindness on the other hand, now that is something so pure and beautiful, it will make any person light up and feel better.
I hear you... Growing up being "nice" on the outside but empty & sick within had not only led me to question myself what it really meant to be kind and to challenge them even... but to even be fed up with dealing with "nice" & indifferent people while hearing their lamentations coming out of their hearts in diguise of defending against each other on the table. I will either numb the anguish heart of the Lord for them at times, or, just help them without being seen or asked. Which I think that was more likely a coping mechanism to flick or test if there was even kindness (you know what I mean) in heart. Sometimes, just tell them plainly the truth at heart a bit observing them... my eyes undeniably dislike. Deep down, I just long for at least one person to be open to the truth & love of Christ only God knows (I.e. so far not hearing any testimony from anybody I talk to). I may not even know what I'd get out of from giving a free box of pizza I got to a Malay cleaner who only understood Malay better... but, I can trust only God, who knows and has the right to be compassionate with her or not.
Thus... it's unexpectedly relief that there were even those in Heaven for having the least bit of kindness in them. The Bible in the book of Matthew chap 25 backs up this fact from the video.
You are like me
all i said was " God replace my heart with yours" and i just started to smile so much out of nowhere man i love God so much
Amen. Me too. Peace 🙏.
No homo my guy
Wow ❤
Me too!
i teared up reading this. god is real, i feel him
I'm definitely cold and cynical and I pass a lot of indifference to people. But I am getting worse to the point where I don't feel any positive emotion at all anymore. I know I need a change. I'm glad I found this video. Thanks.
How’s has it been?
I found that I feel my worst when I haven’t been kind to others because I was annoyed or mad at myself but I also found that I am happiest when I’m showing kindness to others. I don’t blame you for where you are right now as everyone experiences valid struggles but I hope you’re feeling more positive as a person now. The thing is, kindness is something that spreads and so a lot of the time, people who are cynical and cold could be good hearted people who didn’t receive kindness. So if you didn’t really have anyone in your life who you filled you with sunshine, then I’m sorry about that. I guess this shows that a lot of the time, kindness is there to aid people who are feeling negative so that they can feel positive and spread it to others. It’s ok to be indifferent sometimes but kindness is better and if you have the opportunity to share it with others, do it! Because that helps them to become kinder too if they are struggling somewhere in life. Anyway, I’m glad you found this video cause you have your own valuable way of showing care to others. I hope that you are able to surround yourself with kind people and can find the strength to be kind to others.
It’s okay, I believe in you, we all do. You can do this❤❤
i hope youve been doing good, have a good day/night!
Recognizing the problem is half of solving it.
Fear not, every winter in life, no matter how long, cold or dark, is followed by spring.
I actually really like your style of teaching. Your voice is calming but has an air of humble authority. You’re logical but you seem to recognize that logic isn’t all that makes the world beautiful. I love your stories and the way you tell them. I love your videos too, they entertain me, make me laugh, and make me think at the same time. They are easy to digest but have a level of spiritual depth I really appreciate. Your media style (the sounds, the animation, the graphics, etc) also provides a rich and hypnotic experience. You make me want to seek out God in a way I have been looking for.
Please keep up the good work, I’d love to see more! 🙏 ✨🤍
Thank you so much for this comment. 🙏
Exactly
You just accurately put in words what we're all thinking but find hard to say. Thank you!
I think part of what helps me with kindness is not thinking about it too much. If I’m doing something for someone, there’s no reason for me to make a big deal over it.
The less of a big deal it becomes, the easier and more natural it becomes because it becomes the norm.
There was this study made with little kids, where adults do something like drop a pencil, and the children's impulse is almost always to empathize and help, like taking the pen and giving to the person who droped it. Very cute.
It's natural to empathize with our fellow humans, we just have to not put any barriers and it will most likely come
how about if someone wrongs me and i can’t help but feel unkind and angry towards them. i want to not care so much and be okay with it.
@@alma801the way that I do it is to just accept it as something that has happened, know that we can’t change the past, even if they regret it, and then find a way to move on. That might be by apologising to them even if I didn’t do anything wrong, or by finding a reason that they did it so that I can empathise with them. Don’t hold a grudge, it will ruin the possibility of a relationship with them.
Yes!😊
Kindness is a simple yet difficult topic. Kindness that isn't about yourself but just about doing the right thing for the right reasons. The thorns from the world and from sin sometimes seem to suffocate any kindness that may be trying to flourish. Loving yourself is difficult too. How to love yourself without becoming self-absorbed and all those other evil things a person can become.
I think there’s an incredible sort of quiet power that comes with being extremely kind.
It’s crazy, when you take the love that God freely gives to you and reflect It onto people like that it gives you this weird, powerful presence that really allows you to touch people’s hearts. Especially when someone does something hurtful to you, and you reach out to them with genuine kindness and understanding even in spite of how they tried to hurt you… It’s hard to describe but it really makes people stop and think about what they’re doing.
The people that lash out at others and hurt others the most are usually the ones that need love the most- it’s like trying to reach your hand out to a stray hungry dog shivering in a corner in an alley. It’ll try to bite your hand and it’ll snarl at you, but really it’s just hurting and scared, and in need of a little kindness.
P.S:
I discovered your channel through tiktok and I’m now binging your content on here and I love your videos man. I really think God is working through you to better the world, and that’s something to be extremely proud of. By the way I also judge food based on how much the bag ends up weighing- if you ever end up eating at chipotle, you can get double portions of everything besides the meat for free.
Amen. Thank you friend. Once again, very well said. And thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate the encouragement. God bless you... And I am going to chipotle now just to test tha. Ha!
u forget that narcissists lurk prowl and prey on nice people, they are their prey of choice. nice pple NEED to know how to say NO and mean it.
@@Lauren-vd4qe indulging someone in their illness is neither nice nor kind. One cannot be nice or kind without the discernment when 'no' is appropriate, when 'no' is called for. Inability to say no is anything but kindness, let alone niceness

How To Be Simply Saved
1. The bad News. We are sinners. (Romans 3:23.)
We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins.
2. The Good News. Jesus Christ who is God's Son died
on the cross for all of your sins. He was buried & rose
again to give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift. (1
Corinthians 15:3-4. Romans 6:23.)
3. How am I saved?
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved. (Acts 16:31.)
4. Once saved, always saved.
Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He
that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Do you believe that you are saved by grace and promised
heaven because Jesus died for you?
Yes_No_

if you ever feel alone just speak to him. call him God, Jesus, Yaweh (there are more names but search it on the internet)
anyways God bless you
Who exactly is Jesus in your religion? I got a doubt and I hope you can clear that doubt.
This helped me a lot. I realized that im very self centered when it comes to my inside desires and thoughts but on the outside im a "nice" person. When im caught up with myself and what I want I lose that part of myself that is kind and empathetic.
This channel is underrated
Amen to that!
This is exactly how I've been thinking about it! Some people can be nice, but superficially, you can quite literally feel the animosity that they have towards you. Kindness is the real thing. Niceness ≠ Kindness.

@@maliciousmalloThe World is indifferent to you, which makes being kind all the more challenging (but also rewarding).
@@bplovelove3119 someone didnt get the message of kindness I guess.
Pointers for the spiritually uninterested:
- try to be helpful
- be patient
- share your experience
- inquire about the other person's experience
- stay away if the other people seem to not want any of that
That is in my experience so far is what kindness is, a form of trust.
I struggle with this, I want to be kind person and to take an interest in other people because I know that is what is right but it is under the guise of nice and seems transactional. Can you move from selfishness, fake niceness to kindness? I feel so fake with people and struggle to empathise with them, I'm always amazed at people like my Mum who genuinely seems interested in people and kindness is what she gives. That's her superpower alright!
passing on kindness takes practice and patience to look at someone and treat them as a genuine person. the anatomy of peace by the harbinger institute was a good book to explain this.
You’re killin it man, beautiful high quality stuff, most underrated channel I’ve ever discovered. I hope to watch you for a long time
I remember in highschool some people would say that I had a bright light, never understood it. Now I know, it was Him and His kindness radiating out.
beautiful! amen
I once had a partner who at the time of our break up would wipe my tears and provide me with support, but when asked to explain his issues with me he would turn into an unempathetic and cold person. He didn't do it as an act of revenge but he had never learned to forgive people, or have peace in his soul. It struck me when I realized that his "care" was coming from his need to be labelled as a supporter. People like that will behave like a helper to one for their own self fulfilment. As the video said they will cherish you but on the inside they may not care at all. I learned the difference between kindness and niceness early on because of that and i am very glad it is being talked about from this youtuber.
YESSS! I’ve been so excited for another one of these; every single one pushes such a strong message in the most simple way :)
Thank you so much. 🙏
Dude, you have a gift. This is my third video of yours and I've experienced the grace of tears twice. Your style, both with animation and storytelling in general, is so profound and cuts right to the heart of the matter you're trying to discuss. The Holy Spirit is reaching people thru you. Keep it up, and God bless you.
Exactly this! I also think being "nice" results in you lacking boundaries and saying "yes" to things because its "proper" and socially acceptable to do everything that everybody asks of you, regardless of wether youre capable or not. Essentially "sacrificing your needs for other people's wants".
But with kindness, you are more capable of making boundaries and sometimes saying "no" to certain expectations in order to take care of yourself and your mental health. Saying "no" so others cant take advantage of your "niceness". Being able to set proper boundaries and know when to say "yes" and when to say "no".
I was so touched by the softness of his voice but when he mentioned Jesus...I couldn't help but feel overjoyed
Amen 🙏
You know out of all your videos this one relates to me the most. When I was a child, I was fully kind, I was a bit of a menace and definitely had my rotten moments but kindness was my strongest perk. I always had to cheer people up, make them happy or just help anyway I could. But over time the world and its people got to me and nearly snuffed it out for good. I became cold and heartless but deep down I knew that's who I still was, I just had no reason to show it anymore. It's not until about a year ago I started to try and become what I once was as a kid, and I've never been closer. it's hard tho, because as a kid I would just chat to anyone, even strangers, I really did try and treat everyone as if they where me, I would walk up to lonely kids I didn't know and offer to play with them, I would buy sweets and offer it to random kids, even adults like teachers. But I'm nearly 20 now and there's many things I want to do but I would just be looked at as a creep, or that "Stay away from strangers" guy. Like if I saw a lonely kid, or even just a lonely adult playing basketball or something, I want to walk up and join them but people just don't like that, or have a fear of that. So it's hard to be truly kind but there's no reason not to be fully kind In all the ways society accepts, you know.
Whoever reads this, just make it a goal to show some kindness to 1 or more people every chance you get, if your the silent type, just say "Hey, you alright" to someone your walking past or waiting in queue with, I try to do this and people just smile and usually say "Hey I'm good thanks" and that's it, but I like to think they go home thinking about that kind stranger who asked if they where ok.
Remember, kindness if free, doesn't cost anything to give it.
I gotta believe, I'm just a nice person. I don't care about anyone really.
I just act good as I believe in Karma. Karma says, 'What you do, comes back to you.' So, I just act kind for my own personal gains.
i've spent a long time trying to be kinder than i was, and sometimes it's really hard. but, man, you just have to keep going. trust me. it's all worthwhile when you're in bed thinking about your day. keep going

"Always try to be nice. Never fail to be kind."
I’m Atheist but derive some of my beliefs from Buddhism and I do love Jesus’s teachings. I try to practice confident kindness everyday and I think what really pulls me out of times of despair, is when I’m able to truly forgive and humanise the other person, practicing gratitude for the good things and surrounding myself with other loving people as much as possible. When we’re inevitably faced with people who bring us down, I don’t think we should feel pressure to act perfectly - sometimes our anger and hurt is justified, and forgiving ourselves can cultivate forgiveness for others. I’m able to be kind when I don’t take their actions to heart and when I remember that sometimes the most “unlovable” people need love the most (as long as we don’t sacrifice our hearts too much). It’s an incredibly powerful and spiritual force ❤

I love your channel. I just really wanted to share something with you . My parents raised me to be an amazing person, i am a really nice person and my heart is so BIG i promise. But all these years i been pushed to the side, everytime i was around people trynna share an opinion everyone used to ignore me. Long story short. I said “used” because the world made me careless, hearless, and now im fighting alone every single day of my life with my own thoughts. Telling myself not good enough and the sadness it’s eating me every single day every second. I want to tell the people who are watching this. Watch out because you don’t know what people are going through with themselves everyday. Love your Amazing work. May god bless you!!!
Great comment. Thank you for sharing. I know we all can relate to this in some way. God bless you, and God understands you. Peace. 🙏
sounds like you need to take an assertiveness class, yes they do exist!! and WHAT do you tell yourself? I dont get weepy when someone treats me poorly or ignores me, I SPEAK UP and internally i think SCREW YOU!! I get MAD, i dont get sad! sad puts you in a black hole, but mad drives you forward, use it to functionally correct them, then GO FORWARD, go do something, visit someone, do errands, just GO FORWARD!
These videos introduce the gospel in ways that are relatable and easy to understand... I would love contribute in anyway I can... Great work and keep on spreading love!
Thank you Raymond. And I could use all the help I can get.
Brother, I just want to thank you for making this video. It somehow made it to my recommendations even after a year. This video made me realize that I’ve been lukewarm in my walk with Jesus, and that’s more than likely the reason why I haven’t turned into a kinder person even after these years of “serving” him. This video lead me to pray for the biggest sin I’ve overlooked until now, so I thank you for that too. This channel will be a blessing to many others too, I know it😊

Here too. I struggle greatly with kindness even though I've been a "Christian" for decades now. I haven't been formally diagnosed, but I think I may be on the Autism spectrum (I don't care who knows). My whole life I've never really even had the desire to make friends or socialize with anyone, am often indifferent or easily irritated by people, especially in my family. I know *about* God's love, especially about Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, but I've never been able to fully *process* it or experience it to lead me to true repentance. I find praying difficult for the same reason; I don't feel like I ever connect or experience His presence. Please pray for me! 😢
@@ebinrock prayed for you 😊
@@ebinrock Prayed for you, my friend. Lord Jesus, you see this person who realizes the difference between knowing about You, and knowing You. You have heard their cry to be able to truly repent and receive Your love. This is already a wonderful revelation You've given them. Not many people who are nominal Christians realize this. You must love this person, Lord. I ask that in addition to the revelation of need that You have given them, that You would give them a revelation of Your grace, of salvation, of repentance, of love, of growth, of kindness, of Your Spirit, and of Your heart. Grace them with the fullness of joy that You have given Your people, and change them into Your image increasingly.
Pray my friend! Keep praying. The Lord hears one who won't stop asking, seeking, and knocking. Love you!
Maybe you're bored and need to reevaluate what you read, watch, think, and do.
I resonate with this so strongly. Kindness. So simple yet powerful. Thank you for sharing this, we desperately need more kindness in the world.
You are a gift! Thank you for this explosion of light and joy and hope!
Thank you friend. Keep this in your prayers. God bless. 🙏
This video talks about something I’ve been dealing with for a while. Yesterday I finally think I reached a breakthrough and now today I received this amazing gift of a video. Everything abut this video is just perfect the me; The animations, the sound effects… Wow. God bless you man⭐
There was this one message I got from a skit, “Love isn’t a feeling, its what you do for others DESPITE how you feel”
And its one of the most important lessons that I still have trouble applying to life with. Honestly this video was a reality check, and it’s genuinely made me rethink of how Ive been treating others. So thank you.
These kinds of videos are the kind of videos to not die out, a kind of video that has actual meaning and impactfulness and thought behind it. I know this because even a year later it's on my recommended. I wish more people then a mere hundred thousand would take the time too look at this video, and more then few thousand that actually have this video impact there lives for the better by remembering it and passing it on. when we see something happening we imprint on the people around us whether it be mad, happy, ect. most people find it impossible to be happy when all others are just going about there day, neutral, boring, plain, because by society's standards being happy for no reason is weird, it's wrong, which is really sad.
"my kindness dosent have to look like anyone else's, we each have our own very unique type of kindness, we just have to find it."
This hit home. I've been struggling with being naturally kind to people and all this time I thought to myself that somethings really wrong with me and I can never be as kind as other people in my life which ended up making me criticise myself for being fake and people pleaser when all I ever wanted to do was spread positivity and help people make their day more brighter. It's just I'm not used to expressing it as openly as the people I compare myself to do it.
My parents always taught me to be kind and humble, and so I try every day, but throughout life I've learned that isn't everyone's mentality. For me, being nice and kind comes natural, for me being kind is an obvious thing, but I've noticed how that is not the case for a lot of people. For them being nice is a burden, they go through their day thinking of how to ruin someone's life because of the slightest offense; I never understood. I've come to the realization, a lot of behaviors not only come from you as a person, but from the way you were raised. This world needs more kindness, I still feel sad about how incredibly surprised people get when they meet, and I quote "such a bright teenager", I always thought we all were, and I'm just left confused, are teens really like the movies, cause I always thought that was utterly and entirely unrealistic, do teens really yell at their parents like that, do they really rebel that much? And for what. This world need kindness.
I feel you so much, you reminded me of a time I was walking to my lectures and there was this old lady that stopped me and asked me where our presidency was, cause she needed to go there. Since my lectures were happening right near where she needed to go instead of giving her directions i suggested that i could walk her to where she needs and so we did. She layed all of her sadness to me, we even took a couple breaks, since of an old age she couldn't walk for long periods of time. I knew that i was already late to my lectures, but i put all that aside, my priority was this nice old woman. After I led her to the presidency she told me how kind i was and how she will pray for me and i really felt the same way you just described, why was I an exeption, why aren't there more kind young people who would prioritise helping others more often. I'm a person who's really introvert and i actually don't like it when even the slightest attention is brought to me, but when it came to that grandma, i just stopped caring and i just hugged her and wished her well with all my heart. It made me happy that i could of been someone who did something good to another human being, yet at the same time i felt dissapointed at our societies and how especially nowadays we're brought up to look only for ourselves.
Thank you for the clarity. I see now my heart must be overflowing with love for myself and everything around me and others and my words will follow. I had it backwards.
I just discovered this channel a few days ago and it's soooo well made. I was having struggle with the topic of the problem of evil and his video about it just popped in my recommandations at the same period
That's God providing you with what you need. He's so cool like that. I've experienced Him answering me through people, His word, and signs, but lately, He has been putting things in my feed that are exactly what I've prayed for, been struggling with, or needed help with. I've been overwhelmed with the evil in this world and didn't know what or how to pray about it, and his video on pray popped up. It was just what i needed. Don't know if you watched that one, but if not, you should.
I just discovered this channel and I completely fall in love with it, thank you so much for passing this warm energy 🫶🏻
Kindness is a virtue. Niceness is a social lubricant.
I started to tear up realising kindness can only come from the heart. Here i’m thinking it is doing what is right, but it’s not kindness if it’s not from the heart right? Because I dont believe some of my actions were really genuine, i’m just acting that way to impact that person positively. It’s the right move but it’s not ‘kindness’ for it not being genuine.
Your videos are so interesting and informative and are in an amazing format that keeps me coming back. You’re extremely underrated and I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. Please don’t stop making videos!!
Thanks for this comment. I appreciate it. (The glory is 👆) Peace 🙏
Thank you for this video! It really got me to think about if my actions were actually kind or if I’m just people pleasing. You have a real gift for making videos
I think it can be even harder to be kind after people have been cruel and mean towards you, but... Maybe we should all strive to be kind anyway. I admire people who manage to stay kind no matter how much cruelty they have endured in their life
"Let your kindness shine." This seems to allude to "Let your light so shine." Substituting the word Light with Kindness here makes so much sense. I was literally thinking "Wow, that sounds like the Light of Christ" and then you mentioned Jesus. Thank you for this message in this way. I have been nice but am often hardened or self-centered out of fear. I would like to become consistently kind again.
So simply and wonderfully put. If I may add on a lesson my parents taught me. We can only control our own actions and reactions. When someone else is cruel or passes on something they shouldn't, we have the choice to hang onto it or to set it down. While that person's hands are empty, fill them with kindness. Your reserves will fill right back up. I promise. I'm one of those kind people who gets told I light up rooms and fill people with sunshine. You can be too! It's a choice. It's a daily self discipline. Start small but be intentional and practice daily, even if only in your head. Choose not to grasp onto the yuck others toss around. Eventually, you won't even see it anymore! Life becomes bright and cheery and beautiful. If you don't know Jesus, please seek Him out. He changed my world and allowed me to have the best worldview. He can do that for you, too!
thank you for reminding me of the purpose we all have but always forget. Looking back, every time I saw the good in everyone, I felt the best way I've ever felt. I think we should start encouraging one another instead of constantly judging. It's difficult but if we all work together, it's gonna be easy.
Found your channel via TikTok. Appreciate all you hard work and effort towards the channel 😊
amen. thank you friend 🙏
I love how you make everything bad have a negative energy to it, you don't just say its bad, you show it too.
How awesome it is to come across this when God's telling me to take a stand! God bless you for what you do! I'm still battling my own shyness, but I see things are coming along slowly!
Your videos are like no other I’ve seen. From the amount of time to the tone of your voice. God knows what he was doing when I found your channel. I love you. Be safe.
Amazing as always! Your ability to create simplicity from such intelligence is so powerful. I am so excited to see new videos and to watch this channel grow. What a blessing to be blown away by a new video and to see growth of subscribers and likes and knowing that more people are being blessed by these messages. It’s hard to imagine that anyone, regardless of their feelings and beliefs about God and even how hard life may seem for them in the moment, will not be moved and become hungry to know more. The first step in their lives being changed 🙏
Dana. You’re an answer to a prayer. You have no idea. 🙏 God is certainly with you. Thank you for all your comments, they lifted me. I am nothing without God. Please Pray for me and this small ministry that it may grow. God bless you always.
its nice of you to appreciate her so much.
takes one to know one pal....
I never really comment on videos, but I just wanted to let you know that your channel is amazing and is helping me to grow in my faith. Thank you so much for you videos and know that they’re actually being used to change lives❤️❤️
i like how reflecting this is on just a simple thing, which is right before us, and still many struggle to see the difference
I just found your channel and it’s absolutely grate! You are really doing an incredible job, please keep on going. I’ll prey for you from Spain. God bless you
Awesome. thank you friend. Peace and god bless you.
Hey I really love the message you put out and it really brings me so much happiness to know that someone out there is putting out what I’ve been always hoping to say but could never really formulate into words. Much love
This is a great video. I am 43 yrs old. I am in the process of a nasty divorce and my business is falling apart. Yet I still find people interesting and intriguing. I am the guy that can strike up a conversation with just about anyone anywhere. I genuinely like people and am very interested in what they find important. I went into a field that works with Autistic Children and teaching them how to communicate. I struggle with people thinking or behaving in a way that confuses me. I could have some autistic traits myself. Being kind to someone and truly not wanting anything in return other than a positive interaction seems to be uncomfortable for others. People seem to place their motivations, and negative experiences on my interactions with them over time. They tend to think or imply I am out to get something from them. What ever that may be. Because of these responses I have recently started to reduce my interactions with people, yet I still find joy in listening and speaking to others. It does get difficult when small kindness aren’t wanted or returned these days.
I relate so much to what you said about reducing interactions with people because of negative experience, i understand you completely, I am an extrovert myself and I too like people but I had to start to become very serious, mindful and start to guard my heart because my kindness is always mistaken for a weakness and not only that but I was also subjected to slander, accusations because of my character. Not saying that I am perfect, some Saint, but I like people and this lack of reciprocity is draining me so much.
This is mind blowing what world we are living in! People are complaining about how selfish society become, but when someone genuinely friendly came along with no agenda attached - he or she is going to be labeled as a loser who is asking to be taken advantage of. Smh!!
I could write a book about it, lol. But we must be mindful and not allow to crush our spirit, and so we become numb or actually part of 3 Tm3, Micah7 society!!! We must be wise…
Btw, I am also from educational field…
Sorry about your divorce and business, I am wishing you all the best! Greetings!
the animations on this video make the story so much more impactfull, great vid man
So glad I discovered this channel the moment you put out your 2nd vid.
Wow. Thanks for sticking with me! I really appreciate it. Peace 🙏.
i got jumpscared at 4:59 , and first thing i thought was "Holly Shit!"
My heart is cloudy.
But that's only because I like cloudy skies.
Cloudy with a hint of sun, like beams of light piercing through curtains.
Peaceful yet desolate, waiting and searching at the same time.
The clouds which represent my ability to defend, prevent.
And the mass of stars in the night sky that show me the concept of infinity, a personal oath to myself that I will withstand whatever my next challenges are, because there is always more of me.
Then the Sun which drifts across the sky, illuminating my land of memories with consciousness; that which gives power to my will.
And the ocean that stretches indefinitely, unbound by concept, the understanding that there will, without doubt, be more.
Lastly, the land which stretches out moment by moment, seeking to encompass the entirety of the infinite ocean; the manifestation of my memory, that which directs the path of my will, "me".
Little by little, my land grows across this neverending ocean, protected by clouds, enduring by the glimmer of faraway stars, driven by the bright sun, towards the end of the ocean.
That is the representation of my journey through life, hidden within my heart.
As well as the world which I show to others when I talk.
I like ur animation. It’s clean and makes it easy to perceive ur message
Bro. You probably won't even read this message, but I have to thank you for this video. Like, a lot.
First of all, I'm graduating in Philosophy. I was never really a good person; in fact, when I look to the past, I see a monster. Recently, a lot of really hard and catastrophic stuff happened in my life and so I woke up to the reality: i was a bad person, and after those events I could see it.
Two years ago, I started looking for a path to become a good person. To be kind. But I always found my evil nature coming again and making everything difficult for me. In your concepts, even though I found this evil nature in myself everyday, I was nice.
Look, I started studying Philosophy for the purpose of becoming a kind person - so, as you can imagine, my main interest is Ethics.
Thing is: I found a "plot hole" in my Ethics, something I always tried to find and repair, because of this video. Somehow, I never really believed I could be a genuinely kind person, even though I always thought that, to be genuinely kind, one should get in really hard stuff. This is the plot hole in my Ethics: if I can become genuinely kind after going through tough things... why can't I believe I can become a genuinely kind person?
It makes no sense. Never could see it, but with your help I was able to understand it.
I wasn't seeing any progress in my kindness lately. Found myself stuck on a mid-level, exactly because I didn't know what I should work on; I couldn't see where I was failing. Now I can. Really appreciate it, brother. You woke me up again.
i am happy for you
i also think i am lucky that my evil nature isn't come yet
The Lord made me kind, I was nice, very nice in fact but my heart wasn't truly forgiving. Now it is and I am in complete peace. It's unimaginable that this even exists. I always thought that problems in life will find their way to take us down but I am always positive now.
Some people are not nice, they are godfearing.
Thank you for dropping another video 🙏❤️
Amen. Thanks for watching.
So crazy how I find this channel exactly when I needed to. Bless you all❤
Your videos have helped me a lot, I just moved into an apartment and going back to school but I just feel awful. I sometimes feel life is bland, boring and just awful, but you are helping me change my perspective on it, with God of course.
Amen. Thank for this comment. And yes, its all God. Peace friend!
@@imbeggar thank you for responding to my email this morning by the way!
I was feeling the moment but when you showed his face it scared me lmfao ik i shouldnt be scared of him but the way it popped out shook me 💀
This is so GREAT BRO!!! You have such a gift!! I am so glad I stumbled on this video! And I’m even MORE glad that you are using it for the Lord! I am now subscribed!! ❤❤
Thank for the educational video everyone should be treated as they should be treated ❤ Kindness is the key
I'm Muslim and I fully support this video. This is some great stuff.
Is a christian - muslim raised kid a totaly agree with you
As something of a videomaker myself, I see all the work that goes into making this one as a form of kindness. Thank you, brother. Oh, and that image of God's intense heart... That was quite something. I was typing this comment when I saw you showed it again in the end. Thank you.
Yes another video, thank you
Feels like you're passning on the responsibility, by asking gid to make your heart kind... But hey, you're trying to be a kind person. THAT'S beautiful.
Belief systems have served as guiding principles throughout human history, offering structure and moral frameworks. However, these systems shouldn't inhibit the exercise of rational thinking and independent thought. For individuals struggling with expressing emotions or managing mental health issues, professional help is not just beneficial, but often essential.
I have recently met some incredible and truly kind people in my life, and getting to know them has been an honor... and a knife in my side. I can feel them becoming a bigger part of my life because of how much they have helped me, but I don't feel worthy. I can't return the favor of kindness like they can and it feels like I'm letting them down. I want them to know me as a friend who will be there for them, but I can't be that person. I feel all of my friends slipping away, some of them have seemed to have already given up on me and I don't blame them. I haven't wronged them in any way, but I know that they deserve a true friend. I've trapped myself in a cycle for the year trying to change, and the more I try to fit into that mold the more confused I become, unsure of whether I'm trying to be somebody else, or who I used to be. I keep telling myself I'm being dramatic, but I know there's more to it. Love won't have me and there is something wrong with me, I'm wrong. I hope one day they will understand, but I won't let them forgive me.
Not much for the religion part, but the message in itself is extremely worthwhile and important
Thank you, and have an awesome week my friend
God bless you, this was a really cool concept!
God bless you!
It was eye opening to see the your vision on ones approach to life, I used to think it was black and white (positive and negative) but to see indefrance as a state of being made me realize my own failure to myself and the people around me that I love. I belive that in order to achieve any form of true kindness it isn't down by looking to someone (god) but to look within yourself and observe your interactions as well as your mood. There is no one way to change for the better, but all ways require ones self to be willing and humble to seek that change.
I wish you posted like every week lol. I love these videos so much
Thank you friend. 🙏
i was too kind once. i shared my code during a CS class with one of my friends, who was about to fail the class. i trusted him to only use it as reference, but he copied every single fucking part of it, and turned it in a day before me. fortunately, the teacher had been paying attention to both of us, so he knew that it was my work. he failed the 'friend' and we never talked again.
5:22 looks like codependency. If you indiscriminately give yourself away to people who don't care about you in an attempt to be kind, you will be taken advantage of-or worse. Instead of putting your faith in things outside yourself, you need to learn to love yourself first. You have to put in the work...no one is going to do it for you. No one is going to replace your heart. You have to dig down, get to know yourself, and learn to love who you are. Until then, any "love" you give is selfish.
Never subscribed that fast to anyone’s channel In my life
Kindness is contagious and should be spread daily. Sowing good fortune is priceless.🤙🏻
This video came at just the right time for me as I’ve been contemplating how genuine I am. Just as the title says, whether I’m being nice (for face) or truly kind. I think I need to boil it down to spreading God’s love and keeping that idea in my heart and head just as you said. I want to grow more in faith, so thanks for spreading this message of love ❤️
Thank you for these videos. I’ve watched them too many times.
I appreciate it so much. Thank you.
