Why I'm exploring kindness?
A two-part answer
I'm exploring, because I don't know the answers yet, but I do have a lot of questions. I know a little bit, enough to start this GitBook, but definitely not enough to write a normal book. That is why I chose this format. It allows me to be creative, to be wrong and then hopefully improve.
I honestly believe that kindness can change the way you think, talk and act, in an extremely productive and enjoyable way. I have good reasons to believe this, the reasons which I will explore in this book. I wish I could be more straightforward about these benefits, give some short examples, but I can't do it here at this landing page (yet) without losing precision and clarity. Clarity and precision which I need, and maybe you as well, to give something as "fluffy" as kindness a central role in daily life. If you want to see some of my work—this is a great place to start:
What is the goal of my exploration?
Goal #1: Getting a quality answer to the question: "Is kindness really the good stuff in life?"
Goal #2: If the answer is "yes" to the previous question, then I want to be more kind! I want to research, develop and explore tools and techniques to achieve this.
Structure of this GitBook
Exploring a topic like kindness is, at least in part, an act of spirituality. And the problem with spirituality is that the word alone is very triggering for a lot of rational people. Luckily, this book allows me to highlight stuff, so when I use seemingly crazy words like spirituality—you can click on it, taking you directly to my definition of the word. I will be referencing to definitions a lot, because while spirituality might be a subjective subject, we can still say a lot of sensible stuff about it (I hope).
Request to the reader
When reading this GitBook, you will notice that I'm not perfect. But I do want to present a worthwhile read for everybody. You can help me do by contacting me when:
You notice any incorrect spellng: I have dyslexia.
You notice plagiarism: I have a strong commitment to the truth, but misremembering is a real problem plaguing everybody's mind.
You notice I'm internally inconsistent: Discussing a subjective subject such as the mind is inherently difficult—often you can't present any physical proof. This doesn't mean that exploring it isn't worthwhile! This is just the nature of the subject. BUT you can expect me to use logical structures when presenting ideas.
