Replacing Sarcasm with Loving Kindness


My best (only?) response when talking with others used to be sarcasm.  I thought I was being witty and humorous.  In recovery’s hindsight, I can see where I was simply consumed by fear of emotional intimacy and cruel.

Today I show up in my life as a much kinder and gentle person.  I still like witty wordplay, but now it is usually at the expense of my ego on the humorous folly of my own shortcomings.

I am grateful for my loving kindness today.  My relationships have all improved as a direct result of being kind and letting go of my sarcastic fearfulness.  I have compassion and empathy for others.
