Am I a kind person?

a deep question this ...
one is kind only to the extent one is free of fear and in
control of one's life.
one is kind when one has plenty and is ready to be "kind"
one is kind even when one does not have plenty but one
is able to see a greater need in the other.
one is not kind when one is troubled by what kindness
may suck one into that is anything but light.
so there are no ultimatums in noble characteristics.
All is subjective and relative....

just as it is possible to cultivate a peaceful buddha like
nature when one's life is a normal one - one filled with a
fair share of positives and negatives.
one is unable to be peaceful and poised and composed
when one is buffetted by stormy incidents in life.
Peaceful nature, kindness and all other positive virtues
touted by most religions fly out the mindscape when one is
fighting tooth and nail to maintain one's mental equilibrium
leave alone emotional or physical.
