I recently moved up North to SF, which has a similar city-vibe to NY. What I love about here is that people are super nice. It got me thinking how important kindness is, especially to an outsider. And to be real, I don’t care if you’re being fake. In fact, I rather you be sweet and fake rather than blunt and rude. What matters is how you treat people. What’s in your heart is between you and you and you and G-d. It’s better to give a lot and be insincere then give a little and be sincere. The homeless guy on the street would rather you give him $10 and be insincere then $1 and be sincere about it.
But I have an intimation where if you show love, whether you mean it or not, G-d will return the love to you, and just as importantly, you will return the love to yourself.
With that said – I love you.
