       Part of kindness then involves being empathetic toward others. Now showing empathy doesn’t mean we are to excuse or even ignore sins in others, that is, big sins. We should not use kindness as a way to not deal with sin. But as members of the body of Christ, the church, we should seek to work on putting ourselves in others shoes, and understanding not only our own needs but also the needs of others. We should listen to our fellow brothers and sisters when they have problems, and we should come alongside them, providing prayer and good words toward them as benefits them. We should have and display a caring attitude. One way not to be kind is to be harsh or sharp toward others feelings, and the things that they tell us. We are unkind when we act like we don’t care about their needs. We are unkind when all we want to do is focus on ourselves and the needs we have, and not take turns in caring for each others needs. Unfortunately, it is true that some people only want to talk about themselves, and they only seem to care about things that affect and pertain to them.
