TRUE KINDNESS

James 2:2-4

Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?                                                      

Pagka sobra mong iniistima yung mayamang mabango at maganda ang baro at hindi mo iniistima ang mukhang mahirap, hindi ba kasamaan yan? Yun ang human tendency. Pag mas maganda ang baro, pag mas mataas ang ilong at saka mas arogante, they get the service.

Subukan mong maging polite sa mga dispatsadora. “Ma’am, magkano po ito?” “Hindi mo kaya yan. Mahal yan.” Pero pagka bihis na bihis ka, talagang nagkakandarapa sa paglilingkod sayo. At the end of the day, neither the poor nor the rich client gave them a tip. Wala rin namang napala, nagpakaalipin pa sa mga mayayaman.

Pero alam nyo kung bakit ganun ang tendency ng tao? Umaasa, baka mabigyan. In other words, selfish ang motives. You serve the one who you think can give you better things in return. But what is real kindness? It is what you do to the person who cannot return your kindness. Yung ginagawa sa taong hindi nakapagsusukli sa ginawa mo sa kanya. Pero yung ginagawa mong pagsisilbi sa mayayaman, investment ang tawag dun, hindi yun kabutihan.
