“The Nature of Kindness”
Kindness is a feeling sought
By a woman from a man, by a man from a woman.
Whenever and wherever, we all seek kindness.
In the relentless, competitive rat race in which we live,
Kindness fills our need for soothing comfort.
There are many types of kindness.
Kindness that masks deception, or kindness for show—
These are the scheming types of kindness.
With true kindness,
You believe in the other person in your heart.
It’s a strength of spirit that transcends all.
It’s a parent believing in their child.
At the same time, there are cruel, unyielding types of kindness, too.
When dealing with someone, what is their daily bread?
We should take pains to understand what nourishes their soul,
With the wisdom to judge right from wrong, cause from effect.
In that lies true kindness.
「やさしさの本質」
女性が男性に、男性が女性に
求める気持ち「やさしさ」
「やさしさ」はいつでもどこでも求められる
厳しい競争社会で生きるために
人は「癒し」を求めるからだ
やさしさにもいろいろある
欺瞞のやさしさ、虚飾のやさしさ
計算高いやさしさ
真のやさしさには
相手を信じる心がある
普遍的な強さがある
子どもを信じる親の心だ
故に鬼の如き厳しいやさしさもある
相手にとって何が成長の糧になるか
それを考えることに苦心する
善悪と因果を見極め判断する智慧
それが真のやさしさだ
