Over many years of designing and facilitating workshops and coaching people to treat themselves and each other well, I've encountered a lot of individuals who don't believe in kindness, a perspective usually stemming from their own experiences growing up. When you're raised in a household where all you're taught is that the world is harsh and you better toughen up or, worse yet, you're belittled, humiliated, or abused in some way, you tend to come out of that environment with all kinds of negative and even irrational views. The wonderful thing I've noticed is that human beings, regardless of their backgrounds can begin healing and believing in kindness at any time. It can be a difficult process, often requiring therapy, but people have an amazing capacity to heal. Even the angriest, most hurt person can move in the direction of gentleness and happiness. Much of people's anger and hatred comes from feeling worthless deep inside, they don't care about them...
