It may help you to continue seeing a therapist, don't you think?
As far as the comic goes, most people I'm sure would have an innate sense of what 'good' and 'kind' mean.
For me, to be good is to do things that come from, and help develop, excellence of character. Keeping virtues like moderation, courage and justice, and trying to navigate life with wisdom. Behaving according to my duty as a rational, social human being.
For me, to be kind is to treat others with consideration. Kindness is not complicated. Kindness is in basic actions for the welfare of others (human and non-human alike). Kindness is taking some time to help someone on the forum feel a little bit less alone. Kindness is checking on your elderly neighbour during a heatwave. Kindness is giving the really tired man on the train your seat before he falls asleep on his feet.
Personally, I have my own opinions on therapy, which are not positive
However, reading the above, and subsequent shabad, leaves me in no doubt that for the while anyway, I should probably just stick to comic relief in my contributions here, as clearly my internal compasses are so far away from reality, that any argument will only make me look hugely stupid,
I cannot relate to any of the above in any fashion whatsoever, my own belief is that no one does anything good, or kind unless it suits their own personal agenda whatever that may be, or they wish to be seen as good and kind.
I'll just stick to jokes.....
