This is good! I agree!

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” “Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.”
Albert Schweitzer.

There is a story about Albert Schweitzer. In deepest Africa, he was chasing his dog who was chasing a chicken around the yard. And Schweitzer was yelling, 'No, no my friend, remember you are a vegetarian!'

I really feel like telling my step father off right now. But I better not. The things he says, with no regard or empathy to the childhood we endured, while he stool by, infuriate me to no end. And he'll never die.

I can't entirely agree about always being kind.
Sometimes one has to be cruel to be kind.
A lot depends on the situation

Who knows how someone else will respond to you. I get the strangest replies sometimes. I don't know what to think of them. Sometimes you just have to be confused.

Try writing him a letter expressing your suffering at his hands but probably never mailing it.

There is a fuzzy line between kindness/helpfulness and patronizing. I think I’ve sometimes offended when I was merely trying to be kind/friendly/helpful.

I've heard of this. I don't know if it would help. After the phone call yesterday, I can't even tell you how angry I felt toward that ef'r who stood by while we were abused (he was abused also) and now just ruminates about the life he threw away with my mother.

I've tried to be empathetic. I've told him he should have left her right away. He had siblings with grown kids and spare rooms. He didn't.

AND! I've asked him to have my mother's ashes put at the cemetery here instead of them sitting on top of the cabinet in the living room but he hasn't. I'm going to bring this up again. I swear, if he doesn't I'm mailing them to my narcissistic brother after he dies. I've researched. You can.

I have heard quotes similar to that one. Here’s another:

“Always make your words sweet and chewy because you may have to eat them someday.”
