We have a tendency to be skeptical of someones kindness but not skeptical of unkindness.
When someone is nice we wonder if they’re up to something, or hiding something, or have some ulterior motive.
But when someone is mean or cranky or critical we are certain they’re being exactly who they are and doing exactly what they mean.
What if we flipped it and simply accepted kindness…and then when someone is critical we figure there must be something else going on that we don’t know about.
