Kindness is not something that everyone should do; it comes from inside.
We frequently witness people displaying caring, love, and devotion that only stems from the exterior and not from the within, all for show.
Without a doubt, many individuals have inner compassion that comes from their hearts; these people think too much, care too much, and it is clearly visible in their acts, as opposed to others who exhibit it via their words.

How simple it is to pretend you care about other people’s sentiments, that you respect others, that you want to assist others.
And people are easily duped by the webs they construct.
So there are two IIM Bangalore pals.
They are both intelligent students named Ritwik and Naman, and they used to study together while answering each other’s questions.

Ritwik had been through a lot in his life; he hailed from a middle-class home where his mother used to sew garments and his father lost his work in covid.
He knows how much agony his family is going through, thus he realizes the value of money.
He understood the significance of working hard and advancing his family’s reputation. The family difficulties made him realize he wanted to help those who had lost their jobs or were looking for work.

On the other side, his friend Naman was from a middle-class family, but he was a laid-back sort of person who didn’t give a hoot about his family issues, which led to him feigning love and concern.
Despite their closeness, Naman was only faking as always, pretending to be your closest friend and caring for you, as he had done from childhood.

Naman became ill while playing football, and as his buddy, Ritwik assisted him in recovering from his ailment. Whereas Naman saw it as his responsibility to assist him, he underestimated him and took him for granted.
After a few days, Ritwik needed to pay his rent and ran out of money, so he approached Naman for assistance because he is the closest person on whom Ritwik can rely.

But, as usual, the habit of fake never goes away, so Naman told Ritwik, “Don’t worry, bro, I’m there, don’t take strain, I’ll assist you out.”

After a few days, the landlord became irritated. Ritwik managed to pay his rent through a part-time job.
And he realised that kindness is something that comes from within, not from outside.
No matter how many people we meet or how many friends we make, there will be some who actually care and help others, and there will be others who only pretend to.
It is necessary to accept these people and not to expect friendliness from them. Instead, they deserve sympathy. They did not achieve the level of profound comprehension of life.
Whereas we must appreciate those who aid without expecting anything in return and who always stand up for us.

Kindness doesn’t mean being fake-nice all the time. It means being real and responsive -Noah levine
