Does your kindness asociation have anything to do with wikipeia?

Ok. Then make it. Howabout1 Talk to me! 22:23, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

OK, this is it.


The Kindness Association believes in a system of values based on kindness and in the belief that these values should be consistantly reflected in your actions. The Kindness Manifesto goes as follows:


    Anything that you’d ever want comes somehow from kindness. Whether what you want is given to you by a person or something else in the real world, it was a kindness that you received it. The Kindness Association seeks to promote kindness of all types and shapes, whatever you can imagine as a kindness the Association seeks to find some, any way to give it to you. Everything that you ever got, anything that ever happened to you, was from a kindness. If you find money on the street, reality was kind to you. If you win the lottery, luck was kind to you. If someone else is nice to you, or helps you in some way, then they are being kind to you. 
    Philosophically and morally kindness is the greatest goal anyone could aspire to get, or if they wish to help others and look good, kindness is the greatest thing anyone can give. Kindness functions on two levels, one is socially, the other, still emotional, is more of a physical thing related to interpersonal relationships. If I give you a dollar in a business transaction, that is more physical than social. Thus kindness can be divided into two general categories, emotional and physical.  
    Sometimes we don’t consider being kind if say we are doing business, and merely seek our current practical objective. Therefore it is the other aspect of life, the emotional, that the Kindness Association seeks to improve for you and everyone else. 
    If you adopt the ideals of the Kindness Association, to promote your emotional wellbeing by promoting kindness in yourself and others, so that they will be kind to you, you will help the Kindness Association achieve its goals. You of course need to promote kindness in yourself, not just others, because being unkind yourself makes you think about things which cause negative emotion, which makes you feel bad. In order to fully feel and get the benefit of kindness, you must promote kindness in yourself as well, otherwise you’d only get half the benefit. (If you just promote it in others)

    In order to adopt the ideal of the kindness association for life, you need to know what to do. You can’t just go about “promoting kindness” if you don’t know what kindness is in     In order to adopt the ideal of the kindness association for life, you need to know what to do. You can’t just go about “promoting kindness” if you don’t know what kindness is in the first place. The ideal of the Kindness Association is for everyone to be as kind as possible, to promote this kindness in others, and to discourage and put down anything other than kindness. So sure, if someone else clearly isn’t abiding by the ideal of the Kindness Association, you should feel obligated to be rude/mean to him/her, whatever is necessary in order to promote the values of this organization. Being mean is justified if in the end it achieves kindness. Its a simple basic concept. If someone is mean to you if/when you're mean, then you'd be less likely to be mean to them in the future, so they won't be mean to you again

Someone is mean, then they are punished, making them less likely to be mean so they say, should I be mean this next time then they say no, no, since I'll be punished again.

    So in summary, being kind to yourself in the end just makes you happier. That’s the case since kindness is everything that you want. Everything that you get that object is being kind by giving itself to you. So clearly you want to be kind to yourself. You also want to punish objects that try to not help you, in order to reinforce and encourage good things to come your way. Nothing is one sided. It should also be clear that encouraging other people to also be kind to you (in addition to them self) is beneficial to them.  That works out by a very simple positive reward system. If you get something you like, you feel happy. If someone gives you something you like, you are happy because of that person. That makes you more willing to do things for the other person, makes you both happier, increases connection. Thus being kind to others is actually being kind to yourself. The reverse happens in the opposite situation (being mean), so that of course should be discouraged. Also, doing good things, and being kind to yourself, obviously makes you happier. Why not just call it the make yourself happy organization? That’s too obscure, kindness is the way to get there, that is the end result and harder to measure. Also, you can be happy from not doing anything, an inaction. Say I just slept, and didn’t plan it. That could make me happy, but it wasn’t intended. This is the intended happiness association, and a better phrase for that would be the Kindness Association.  Also, people might want to be peaceful, or excited sometimes more than they want to be happy - kindness is whatever you want, whatever you want yourself to feel, and sometimes you don't want to be happy (but usually you want happiness to be the eventual outcome). I could also call it the Directed Acts of Kindness Association, as that is what it is, however it should be understood that that is what it is, not something like a Random Acts of Kindness Association, which is dumb, since in order to maximize kindness you’d do a much better job if you figure out how to best be kind first, instead of randomly jumping into it, not being as efficient as you could.
    The Association aims to promote all types of kindness, materialistic and social. However, since we don’t have plans for world domination yet, right now we are trying to focus on what we can do individually, which is promote social kindness. Say government A is treating is people better than government B, government A is being more kind, then we would support the actions of government A over government B. I know sometimes its hard to judge how kind someone is being on an individual level or as a larger organization, but the Association is just asking you to try your hardest to come to the highest level of understanding you can about how kind someone(thing) is being and use that knowledge to your fullest, best ability. There are countless examples of the various types of kindness, so the ones that are mentioned here are just that, one example, not perfectly reflective of the whole. An example of a personal, social kindness would be say, not picking on someone else. 
    The main point is, once again, to always asses every situation (of every type , social, economic, whatever) and see if maximum kindness is being employed, and if that isn’t the case, to try your best to employ it.
