I try to live my life
by being kind. Being kinder than
some folks deserve, sure, I admit.
Be kind in the face of
hateful, despite unpleasantness, aside from rude.
Being kind is not being naive,
it is choosing to be nice.
Above all, it is your choice.
And rude, hateful, horrible, nasty people
won't make that choice for me.

I love how you note that kindness is empowering. Nothing makes me feel better than to be kind.
What a clever way of spinning rudeness on its head. It's so true that being kind is always a choice that we can make.
Plus, why should I give rude people the power to annoy me? If I choose kindness in the face of that, well. Then that's my choice, isn't it? :)
Good for you for not letting nasty people make the choice for you!
So true! I believe that every component of our lives are comprised of choices. I, too, choose to be kind.
The power to "kill them with kindness!" Yay! Yes, don't let them control you!
You are so right. Kindness is a choice we make every day, and when we embrace the idea of kindness, our lives are enriched. There are too many self-absorbed people out there, people who walk right through us without so much as an "Excuse me." We need more kind people.
