What do you think is more appropriate in a situation - Being Kind OR Being Fair (when the two are very distinct options) ? What are you more likely to do - Be kind Or Be fair ?

I like to think that family and friends would know that I am both kind and fair. Sometimes though it would be necassary to be just one or the other, but I think that would depend highly on the situation I was facing. I think that if you are dealing with only one person you can show kindness really well, but if you are in a group situation and need to make a decision you need to be fair. Rescuing a kitten from a tree for the little girl crying at the bottom, or not losing your temper at the kids who hit their baseball through your window would show kindness in those situations. If I was mediating a situation between my kids, I have to be fair to each of them. Let's say big brother is picking on his little sister, sure I can send only big brother away, but I would prefer to occupy them both doing something else apart for awhile. Giving them both time to calm down, and it doesn't show any favortism at all. Another situation would be if I was called for jury duty. I think that's one time where you definitly need to be unbiased so you can listen fairly and kindness doesn't fit well at all here. I really think that it depends on the situation as to kindness or fairness being appropriate. |
