Kindness Against Envy KINDNESS v ENVY (v NICE) February 7, 2021 LUKE 10:25-37 I’ll try and explain it again: a few years ago (many more than a few years ago actually) I joked that I consider country music an oxymoron (in some ways I believe that’s true), and that I detest country music (that’s a pretty strong word). I said that I really don’t like the genre . and from there “the legend grew”. Now if one of the songs we sing has a hint of country to it someone comes up to me with “a look” and a hint of a smile and says “Pastor . that sounds country to me!” I admit . country music is not my favourite. But I enjoy some artists that are considered country. Johnny Cash. Jerry Reed. Johnny Horton. Not Merle Hggart (too much twang). I laugh with Bobby Bare. I certainly do not like hearing Achy Breaky Heart! I like Glen Campbell. I’m not a big Rhinestone Cowboy fan – and when I was at Canadian Nazarene College studying so that I could one day be pastor here at Trinity Church (I didn’t realize it at the time, of course) a friend wrote a parody of the song – called it Rhinestone Preacher. Glen Campbell sings these words: If you see your brother standing by the road With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed And if you see your sister falling by the way Just stop and say "you're going the wrong way" You've got to try a little kindness, yes, show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness Of the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets Don't walk around the down and out, lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show every day will help someone along their way You've got to try a little kindness, yes, show a little kindness . Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness then you'll overlook the blindness Of the narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets Not only will you overlook the blindness of a narrow-minded people, you might just do something to counteract their narrow-mindedness. And not only will you overlook the blindness of a narrow- minded people, you might wake up to or realize your own narrow-mindedness! We have been looking at what are called the Christian virtues. Humility and liberality and abstinence and patience and kindness and chastity and diligence. The Christian virtues. Against or contrary to the cardinal sins. And it may be a stretch to say that kindness is contrary to envy . but then again, maybe it isn’t. Envy is defined as a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck. Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Envy is about a relationship between self and others. Kindness about relationship with others. Envy is wanting what someone else has. Kindness about sharing what you have – or better, who you are – with others. It’s important that we realize that they are opposites – contrary, virtue to sin. It is also important that we realize that there is a difference between kindness and niceness. A lot of people think that they are the same thing. They aren’t. When someone says about another that he wouldn‟t hurt a flea he is talking about being nice, not being kind. And I’m going to suggest something to you that might surprise you: we aren’t supposed to be nice people. We are supposed to be kind people. Christians aren’t supposed to be nice (or at least, only nice); Christians are supposed to be kind. I know, I know, that doesn’t make sense. So let me try to explain. Niceness is a . a nice trait. Nice is a nice way to be. Those of a certain age will recall Maxwell Smart’s overused line all of this could have been avoided, if he had only used his . whatever . for niceness instead of evil. For niceness. If only we were pleasant and friendly and charming and agreeable and likeable. Nice is nice. But we aren’t supposed to be nice. We are called to be kind. Read 1 Corinthians 13: love is patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not rude, selfless, not easily angered, and ungrudging. “Nice” doesn’t show up on that list. In fact, you won’t find the word “nice” in the Bible! You’ll find instruction and challenge to being kind – Paul says be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you (in Ephesians 4:32 and in other places) and the Psalms and the Proverbs mention kindness, but you will not read about being nice in the Bible. Not one time. Kindness? All through the Bible. Niceness? Not once. By kindness, I’m not talking about when you buy a stranger a cup of coffee or when you bring in your neighbour’s garbage cans or when you tell someone they have food in their teeth. These are nice random acts. But kindness is not a random act (even though we’re encouraged to do random acts of kindness, they are really acts of niceness). As one commentator said, kindness is a radical way of living. But we tend to focus on the niceness. That’s why people are so often surprised by the negative actions of others. But he was so nice! She was such a nice person! He was courteous. She was pleasant. They were nice . nice . to be around. And it is sad to discover that they might not be as nice as we think they are. It is sad to discover that even Christians aren’t as nice as they like to portray. Ask his friends. John Rutledge is nice. A nice person. Whatever that means. This nice person recently wrote to a black Baptist minister who left his denomination because of its racial stand and . well . Rutledge tears into the minister and talks about how lucky and grateful Black Americans should feel after everything White people have done for them. Really! “Yet they remain savages;” Rutledge wrote. “They defile and diminish every arena in which they parade: academic, political, corporate, judicial, military, athletic. Seeking another white bastion to badger and beleaguered, they invaded the church.” That, of course, stopped me right there: the church is a white bastion? Jesus would be rolling in his grave if he had a grave! “Like two-year-olds, they know only how to whine and throw tantrums,” Rutledge concludes. “The [Southern Baptist Convention] should bid them goodbye and good riddance!” Surprising that he would be so . so racist. Or not. But he's a nice person. You know nice people too. They aren’t perfect . who is? Sure they have some quirks and some funny ideas. But they’re nice. And as nice as we may be, Christians have been some of the worst offenders when it comes to looking at and condemning others. They’ve – we’ve – attached stigma to mental illness for example, often attributing it to a spiritual failing, unconfessed sin, flimsy faith or plain old lack of religious devotion. Just trust God was a mantra for years. Just have faith. No support, no encouragement, no . kindness to be found. In fact, Christians have been some of the worst offenders in not calling out sin in themselves and for over calling out sin in others. But we’re nice. Sort of. But the question is not whether or not we are nice. The question is are we kind? Because that’s the call of God. Charles LaFond – an Episcopal priest – says that Nice is a veneer, and it distracts and it obscures, and sometimes even leads to untruth. Margaret Marcuson – Pastor Margaret Marcuson – says Christian leaders (herself included), are afflicted with terminal niceness. She says We fudge difficult conversations to make ourselves more comfortable (and others). We’ve bought in to the idea that if you can‟t say anything nice, don‟t say anything at all. Which is a good (notice that I didn’t say nice) policy to follow. It’s true: we should be careful how we talk with people. We should be careful how we treat people. But . I like how Meghan Moravcik Walbert put it: Think of kindness as the act that accompanies (or replaces) your words. It‟s silently helping a struggling mom of three kids unload her groceries into her trunk, rather than smiling and saying, “You‟re doing a great job, mama,” as you breeze past. It‟s bringing a pot of soup to your sick friend, rather than sighing sympathetically and saying you hope they feel better soon. You‟re kind if you shovel your neighbor‟s car out from under a pile of snow, stop to help a stranger change a tire, or pause to give an obviously lost person some directions – even if you‟re not the type of person to bother saying “Bless you,” when someone else sneezes. You can be nice without being kind. Kindness, as they point out, addresses the need, regardless of tone. [Why You Should Be Kind Instead of Nice] I think that there have been times when I have been nice. Too nice. I haven’t said what I should have said because I didn’t want to offend someone.

  • About Emotions There Are 8 Primary Emotions. You Are Born with These
    About Emotions There are 8 primary emotions. You are born with these emotions wired into your brain. That wiring causes your body to react in certain ways and for you to have certain urges when the emotion arises. Here is a list of primary emotions: Eight Primary Emotions Anger: fury, outrage, wrath, irritability, hostility, resentment and violence. Sadness: grief, sorrow, gloom, melancholy, despair, loneliness, and depression. Fear: anxiety, apprehension, nervousness, dread, fright, and panic. Joy: enjoyment, happiness, relief, bliss, delight, pride, thrill, and ecstasy. Interest: acceptance, friendliness, trust, kindness, affection, love, and devotion. Surprise: shock, astonishment, amazement, astound, and wonder. Disgust: contempt, disdain, scorn, aversion, distaste, and revulsion. Shame: guilt, embarrassment, chagrin, remorse, regret, and contrition. All other emotions are made up by combining these basic 8 emotions. Sometimes we have secondary emotions, an emotional reaction to an emotion. We learn these. Some examples of these are: o Feeling shame when you get angry. o Feeling angry when you have a shame response (e.g., hurt feelings). o Feeling fear when you get angry (maybe you’ve been punished for anger). There are many more. These are NOT wired into our bodies and brains, but are learned from our families, our culture, and others. When you have a secondary emotion, the key is to figure out what the primary emotion, the feeling at the root of your reaction is, so that you can take an action that is most helpful. .

  • 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Pieter M. A. Desmet Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands The study of user emotions is hindered by the absence of a clear overview of what positive emotions can be experienced in human- product interactions. Existing typologies are either too concise or too comprehensive, including less than five or hundreds of positive emotions, respectively. To overcome this hindrance, this paper introduces a basic set of 25 positive emotion types that represent the general repertoire of positive human emotions. The set was developed with a componential analysis of 150 positive emotion words. A questionnaire study that explored how and when each of the 25 emotions are experienced in human-product interactions resulted in a collection of 729 example cases. On the basis of these cases, six main sources of positive emotions in human-product interactions are proposed. By providing a fine-grained yet concise vocabulary of positive emotions that people can experience in response to product design, the typology aims to facilitate both research and design activities. The implications and limitations of the set are discussed, and some future research steps are proposed. Keywords – Emotion-Driven Design, Positive Emotions, Questionnaire Research. Relevance to Design Practice – Positive emotions differ both in how they are evoked and in how they influence usage behaviour. Designers can use the set of 25 positive emotions to develop their emotional granularity and to specify design intentions in terms of emotional impact. Citation: Desmet, P. M. A. (2012).

  • Happy to Help? a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Performing Acts of Kindness on the Well-Being of the Acto
    Happy to help? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of performing acts of kindness on the well-being of the actor Oliver Scott Curry ([email protected]) Lee Rowland Sally Zlotowitz John McAlaney Harvey Whitehouse September 2016 Abstract Does being kind make you happy? Recent advances in the behavioural sciences have provided a number of explanations of human social, cooperative and altruistic behaviour. These theories predict that people will be ‘happy to help’ family, friends, community members, spouses, and even strangers under some conditions. As a preliminary test of whether and to what extent these predictions are supported by the existing literature, here we conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the experimental evidence that kindness interventions (for example, performing ’random acts of kindness’) boost subjective well-being. Our initial search of the literature identifies 376 articles; of which 19 (21 studies) meet the inclusion criteria (total N=2,685). We find that the overall effect of kindness on well-being is small-to-medium (d = 0.38). There is also some indication of publication bias – lower quality studies tended to find larger effects – suggesting that the true effect size may be smaller still (0.31 ≤ d ≤ 0.34). We also find that the design and methodological limitations of existing studies preclude the testing of specific theories of kindness. We recommend that future research: distinguish between the effects of kindness to specific categories of people (for example, family, friends, strangers); take kindness- specific individual differences into account; and consider a wider range of distal outcome measures.

  • Not-So Random Acts of Kindness: a Guide to Intentional Kindness in the Classroom
    Volume 7, Number 2, November 2015 pp 49-62 www.um.edu.mt/cres/ijee Not-so Random Acts of Kindness: A Guide to Intentional Kindness in the Classroom 1 John-Tyler Binfet Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, Okanagan, Canada Much has been written about random acts of kindness – acts performed spontaneously and often to strangers. The topic of kindness and the benefits arising from performing kind acts holds both empirical and applied interest in the fields of education and psychology. Encouraging students to reflect upon and perform intentional acts of kindness develops perspective-taking, increased social membership, and a structured way of encouraging kindness within the school context. This paper provides an overview of kindness research and argues for the need to promote intentional acts of kindness by providing a framework for teachers to support students in the performance of intentional kindness. Keywords: kindness, kindness definitions, teaching, social and emotional learning, positive education First submission 10 th August 2015; Accepted for publication 15 th October 2015. Introduction “The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.” (Dewey, 1916, p. 351). Even more than honesty, gratitude, or hope, the trait of kindness is identified as one of the top-ranking character strengths valued in Western society (Karris & Craighead, 2012; Park, Peterson, & Seligman, 2004). When parents are asked what they wish for their children, ‘being good’ or ‘being kind’ is consistently indicated to be a top trait (Diener & Lucas, 2004; Seligman, Ernst, Gillham, Reivich, & Linkins, 2009; Wang & Tamis-LeMonda, 2003). Although kindness and other elements of a child’s behavior was often seen as something solely within the purview of parents and the moral authority of religion, increasingly, the mandate of schools has broadened beyond a unique focus on the promotion of core academic abilities to 1 Corresponding author.

  • Mindfulness and Loving-Kindness
    MINDFULNESS AND LOVING-KINDNESS Sharon Salzberg Mindfulness, as the word is commonly used in contemporary meditation teaching, refers to both being aware of our present moment’s experience, and relating to that experience without grasping, aversion or delusion. All three habitual tendencies distort our perception of what is happening, and lead us to futile and misguided efforts to deny or control our experience. Loving-kindness is a quality of the heart that recognizes how connected we all are. Loving-kindness is essentially a form of inclusiveness of caring, rather than categorizing others in terms of those whom we care for and those who can be easily excluded, ignored or disdained. Any reduction in our tendency to fall into attachment, aversion or delusion helps refine and expand the force of loving-kindness. A deepening of insight will inevitably include seeing how all of our lives are inextricably interconnected. The diminishing of grasping, aversion and delusion and the increase in insight are both reasons mindfulness naturally leads us to greater loving-kindness. In contemporary meditation teaching, the word mindfulness is used in several different ways—as meaning the act of recollecting, as being present, and very commonly, as a kind of compound which in Pali, the language of the original Buddhist texts, would be sati-sampajan˜n˜a, or awareness and clear comprehension combined. One way of seeing this is to say that mindfulness is a relational process— mindfulness is not just knowing what is happening, such as ‘In this moment I am hearing a sound.’ Being mindful is knowing that we are hearing a sound in a certain way, that is, hearing it free of grasping, aversion and delusion.

  • Loving-Kindness and Compassion
    Loving-kindness and Compassion A Transcribed Teaching Given by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche in January, 2004 Loving-kindness and compassion protect us, and protect others as well. The Buddha taught that these qualities spontaneously bring benefit, just like a wish-fulfilling jewel, and that if our minds are filled with aggression and anger, not only will we be unable to help ourselves, we will not be able to help anyone else either. We will not be able to benefit ourselves in this life or in future lives. For example, if you are someone who always thinks about the people you don’t like, and how you can get the better of them, you will never be happy and peaceful. During the day, you will not be able to eat your food well. When you are sitting down, you will want to stand, and when you are standing, you will want to sit down. You won’t be able to sleep well either. In other words, you will never be content. This isn’t the only problem with anger. When your mind is filled with anger, your enemies will increase, not decrease. The mind of anger or aggression thinks about enemies and about how to overcome them. It considers the enemy to be someone who is harming us or will harm us, and therefore thinks about how to overcome the enemy, obtain victory over the enemy. The opinion of this attitude of anger is that we actually can overcome our enemies by way of anger. But actually we find that if we follow after this mind of anger, if we follow after those thoughts, we can notovercome our enemies at all.
