@SilkMoth Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

One idea that struck me is you stated that kindness is opposed to Envy. I'm not an expert on Judeo-Christian Theology however one thing I know being kind, being helpful just is.

For example most people state the opposite of pride, valuing yourself too much,is humility. When in fact it is self-pity/self-loathing. Thinking too little of yourself is.

Humility, thinking of ones value correctly. Is on a different scale. Your either humble or your not. Similar I find with kindness, generosity or helpfulness. You are either doing this or your not. The "perceived amount" does not affect if you are.

You are valuable. There is no less or greater here either. You may not have the skills of @sonnet73 or the experience of @Lady Alys. (I too wouldn't be here without them and those like them), it still does not make you any less than valuable. We are not all given the same gifts with the same measures in life, however for us to be the best, we need to all work together with the gifts we have and be willing to have the patience for us to grow. There are some battles like my battles with the dyslexic dragon or the deceptive calling of sadness, must always be fought. That why we forge better weapons, rally others around us to help, however again it does not make us any less valuable or worthy of love.

Be Brave! See yourself who you are truly are! For you are valuable.
