Do you agree with this? At first I thought I did, but now I don’t think I do.
Kind and Like
I think I am naturally kind and I like most of the people I come in contact with ( or that are ‘attracted’ to me, since we are using that term here). I can imagine if I was in a romantic/intimate relationship, even married, to some of them they would bug me and we probably wouldn’t last. I can imagine if I were in a business relationship with some of them they may annoy me. But ‘don’t like’? I don’t think that is true. I like them plenty. I think being naturally kind actually mean you like most people. You might notice things that bother you, but that is not the same as declaring you don’t like someone.
The Server hating Serving
I remember back when I waited tables at Eulipia Restaurant in San Jose, CA. One of my co-workers really hated waiting on people. I couldn’t figure out why she stayed in the service industry if she was so bothered by serving. I think it’s the same with kindness. If you are naturally kind you don’t mind people and their uniqueness much. If you do, then maybe your kindness isn’t really all that natural. Maybe it’s just a burdensome feeling of obligation to be nice. That certainly comes in handy, but it’s not the same as being naturally kind.
but maybe I am missing something. What do you think, is the quote true? Explain.

There might be some truth to it, I really don’t know. I think if you’re naturally kind you attract a lot of good people but probably also some that want to take advantage of your kindness.
Do you think they know consciously what they are doing? Are they consciously manipulating that kind person to get something, or are they unconscious, just being their selfish self without really realizing it, sort of a like a moth drawn to light without really thinking about it?
I don’t agree with that! It seems the nicer I am the more I attract those who share the same morals as myself. Karma! Like attracts like! I drink a lot of Starbucks, and the more I hang around at Starbucks, the more people I meet who drink it! Haha I think that it is similar when you are nice you attract others that are nice.
Just my two cents!
