Benign Kindness

I'm all for being a kind, gentle type of guy. I usually am. It's the thought of being benign that offends. That kindness is in any way mild, neutral or not threatening is a fallacy in our culture, particularly for men, especially for me.
There is a positive danger to goodness. Yes, beware the kind person, lest your values, beliefs, and tidy world view be undermined by one act of unwarranted generosity. I would rather confront the rash blow of unleashed anger than endure the unfathomable freedom and power of any act of kindness.
No respecter of social norms or relational protocols. Defiant in the face of opposition. Infinitely creative against all odds and obstacles. Impossible to predict with any accuracy or outmaneuver by any strategy. While serving all, mastered by none. Beware next time you encounter someone kind. You are not safe.
