If you are reading this, you are probably on the path to becoming your best version, and your social media feed is filled with higher consciousness quotes, we-are all-one principles, and let’s love each other encouragements.

The chances that an image similar to the one above has shown up in one of your scrolling sessions are quite high, and of course, you Like it. I know because I have done it myself hundreds of times. However, life has challenged me to a point in which I can say, with absolute certainty, that being kind to unkind people is tough and demanding.

Today, it took me a good chunk of time to stop hating a very unkind, and from my perspective back then, dark and evil human being who decided to damage my possessions just because he/she could.

I know I am making a bold statement here—some judgment, perhaps. However, the context of the situation didn't leave much space to consider an accident. Someone scratched my car with potentially a key or some sort of pointy utensil, leaving a 2-meter-long single-line dent across the driver’s side; deep enough to leave the metal exposed in the middle of our usual -30°C winter!
