People often emphasize the virtue of 'kindness'. Kindness was considered one of the virtues that was ideal behavior from childhood and essential for being loved and recognized. However, as the year goes by, I wonder if kind actions really make me truly happy.

"What's good is good."

Along with kindness, the saying "what's good is good" is often used. I often tried to hold back unpleasant things with this thought. ButIs what's good really good? Who is saying "good" from whose perspective? I believe in karma, but sometimes I fall into a maze as to whether good is really good.

Whether we like it or not, we meet beings with these characteristics in our lives. As a result, we naturally realize that what's good is not good, and that living kindly is not always happy.

"Is it really happy to live kindly?"

This is a complex question that can vary depending on the situation.Kindness may not necessarily lead to happiness, and sometimes we have to give up kindness and defend our rights and principles. In the end, it is important who you are kind to and for whom.
